Vacancy

112515

I really like peering into vacant buildings to see what sorts of things have been left behind. Usually I see piles of trash, or random things that weren’t important enough to pack up and move someplace else. Seeing an interior that’s mostly clean, and empty, is out of the ordinary.

Lace and an urn try to dress the place up

This little down just doesn’t have all that much going on downtown. So I really think the urn and the lace curtain really deserve a lot of credit for doing what they can to make the town look nicer.

Attracted to the Concept

I can’t explain why I like parking garages – preferably empty, and at night – as much as I do.

I also like laundromats and carwashes – also, preferably empty, and at night.

Watkins

The only thing I could find out about this place, which appears to have been a department store, was that the corporate entity was filed on Saturday, March 21, 1914, with the Texas Secretary of State.

Nothing even mentioned that great, curvy sign. Or the mosaic wall, or the reflection of a street-light-based poinsettia.
