The school in Close City is about all that’s left of the town, which was intended to be a planned community of model homes and industry. It was, however, too far away from the center of the county to serve as the county seat and was abandoned in the early 1900s.

The school building is mostly boarded up now, but at one point, it was easy to get inside and wander around, either to spray-paint important messages on the walls (actual message: For a good time call me. Ask 4 Aimee.) or to take pictures. You can probably figure out what I did when I was inside…

Down on the corner of Convent Street and St. Mary’s Street, things aren’t quite as holy as you might expect.

No more liquor store in Taiban, which is sort of a shame, I guess, because according to this blog, the town was once known as the bootlegging capital of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. You sort of hate to see that sort of heritage disappear.
