Slaton doors
A detail of this place, five months and one day later. Nothing had changed. But I felt better knowing that.

Art room sink
I took this inside the same room as this and this.
But what I really wanted to show you was my three-part (so far) series I guess I can call Random Broken Sinks. I found the first one inside another abandoned school building in Garza County, Texas. And the second one is in the unused second floor of a building in Tahoka, Texas.

Caution: school
Another view of the Arney School, which had burnt down just a few weeks before I saw it. Though the school itself had closed decades earlier, the building was in use as a community center.
Which makes me wonder – when a community loses its center, is it still a community?

The money machine: Austin
If you don’t have the $5.95 for a combo meal at this place, this ATM is just around the corner.
But more importantly, why do you suppose that bricked-in window was so low?
Oh, and for those of you keeping score at home, you can add to my list of terms I hate this one: ATM machine.

Melrose grain
Melrose is a little place between Clovis and Fort Sumner. Fewer than 700 folks live there. It’s got a train depot, a door of which is shown here.
I thought the train depot was going to be the best thing I saw. But, then I turned around and saw this beauty, waiting patiently right behind me. The depot became less attractive.
Confession: I’ve been through Melrose a hundred times, at least. I’ve stopped once. I am sorry, Melrose, that I’ve ignored you for so long.
Also: For international travelers, please note that Melrose is between Victoria, Texas, and Victoria, British Columbia. Just something to think about when you plan your next road trip.
