We are not responsible
That sign behind the light? It says, “We are not responsible for products condemned by the state inspector.”
OK.

Other shots in the series include:
Alpine, Texas.

Marfa, Texas.

The Steam Laundry
To be honest, the only way I knew this was a steam laundry is because the building told me. I am not even sure what a steam laundry is, exactly. I get the general idea – dirty clothes go in, something happens that involves steam (and, possibly, detergent), and clean clothes come out.
But at any rate, it doesn’t matter: the place is out of business and the building is for sale.

Refrigerator Door
I had about an hour to spare. An hour in a town like Colorado City might have felt like an eternity to some people. To me, though, it was barely a start: I am already planning a return visit.
For one thing, I found this fantastic place – an abandoned building just a few blocks from the courthouse. All the windows were gone; so was most of the furniture. But the refrigerator was still there. Most of it, anyway.
