Exxon-no-more
Here’s another view of the hurricane-damaged gas station from yesterday’s post.
At this point, almost two years later, it’s hard to imagine this place will ever be repaired.

The hurricane took what it wanted
On August 26, 2017, about 25 miles from right here, Hurricane Harvey made landfall. It was a Category 4 storm, and is tied with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest tropical cyclone on record.
And here we are, closing in on two years after the storm, and damage is still visible across a wide swath of South Texas.

Your guess is as good as mine
Yes, well, I don’t have any idea what the hell all this means.

It didn’t look that lucky
Some sort of a gameroom, holding down a corner. Evidently, they no longer provide a sweepstakes, as that’s been (sort of) edited out.
Actually, they no longer provide anything: it’s out of business. A man from the house next door came over to see if I was interested in purchasing the building. He looked very confused when I said that I just wanted to photograph the place. I get that a lot.

Andy’s fiesta
Even though Andy’s claims to have just about anything you could need (Cocktails! Curios! Restaurant! Meeting Rooms! Drive-up Window!), I think the availability of all of those things is exaggerated. Which is, of course, my favorite thing about it.
