Waiting/Room

In my explorations of the soon-to-be-demolished auditorium and coliseum, I saw these chairs queued up behind the auditorium. They were tagged and awaiting an auction to determine their new location.

Ghost-light

Ack! What is that thing fleeing the grasp of the mirror?!

Closer to the light

When you were a kid, did walking across metal grates make you nervous? Does walking across metal grates STILL make you nervous?

(For a hint about my answer, see the toe of my shoe on the very far right side of the image. I was safe from the Grate Monster.)

Detritus

In addition to liking to find stacks of chairs, I also like to nose around the backs of places: I’m interested in seeing what sorts of random things are kept and try to imagine why they are there. This was a particularly interesting set of crap.

Things you can’t see anymore

May 6, 2018: on a 526-vote margin, Lubbock citizens voted to destroy two of our most recognizable buildings – buildings that held our collective memories of basketball games, rodeos, symphonies, circuses, monster truck pulls, pancake breakfasts, concerts, graduations, and so many other events, all of which helped define our community. And ourselves.
