I’ve lived as a stranger in my own house, too
Abandoned houses reminded me of the Bruce Cockburn lyric* “I’ve lived as a stranger in my own house, too.” from his song “Use Me While You Can.”

*Not a surprising turn of events, is it?
Scene matched my mood
It was one of those gray and sad days where nothing feels quite right. Even the off-kilter light standard matched the way I was feeling.

Everything is an illusion
Here’s a little different view of the movie set church from a couple of years ago.

The end of this place
Back in March 2013, I posted some photos of an abandoned small-town motel, Crider’s Motel, in Johnson City, Texas. One of the blog posts was titled “Crider’s Motel may be past its prime.”
Time passed. I never went back to Johnson City to see what was going on.
Then, on November 21, I had a comment on one of those posts from Sandra Trevino, who said, “The Crider motel was torn down today. It was a blast from the past.”
And sure enough, it was. Here’s the newspaper article about it. And here, bordered in black because I’m sad the place is gone, are those images from 2013:
