Deadline: not met

Obviously, the 2019 completion date wasn’t met, and 2020’s not looking all that likely.

Next Door Neighbors

The demolition process continues, even without human intervention, at the mirror-image motel rooms.

Better times were but a memory

Scenes like this always get the attention of my photographic eye (you know that already, right?). There are so many stories here, and I can’t think that any of them had a very happy ending. The hand truck on the left side strikes me as the saddest part of this scene, but there are many things that are in second place.

House of Wonder

In answer to your questions:

  1. No, I did not visit Tinnelli’s House of Wonder.
  2. And, yes, there IS an apostrophe missing from the sign.
  3. But I think we all can agree that the sign added a bit of visual interest to this abandoned building.

Round/House

This trip was not intended to be a road trip, but that’s how it turned out. And then that’s how we happened to be in Hugo, which as it turns out is the home to only surviving brick roundhouse in all of Colorado. The roundhouse is so important that it has its own website.
