Adrian, Texas, is the mid-point of Route 66. In case you wondered.
It also has this delightfully abandoned place.

Glancy
Oh, man! What a find! An out of business hotel, complete with a sign with a lot of fonts, a nice variety of shapes, and the relics of some old neon.
And this was a fun find: the Clinton City Council voted unanimously in August 2019 to have the building demolished. Apparently that didn’t happen,: in 2021 the Clinton Economic Development Authority authorized $7.75 million to renovate the hotel and an adjoining restaurant.
From what I saw, it’ll take every bit of that money to renovate the place, which had, according to the second article, “fallen into a deep decline.”

PJs
The windows at this out-of-business store were papered over, probably to keep people like me from peeking inside. However, a tape failure gave me the opportunity I was seeking. And I try to not let opportunities pass me by – I think they’re placed in my path for a reason – so I sure did look into the display window. And was richly rewarded by those pajamas. Although those buttons look like they are not very sleep-friendly, which may account for the pjs never selling.
