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.

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.

Entertainment Options

There seem to be a lot of entertainment options here, and you probably share my interest in finding out what Del the Funky Homosapien is all about.

Just before I found these posters, I had an Incident: I tried to go into a bookstore, but the security thing at the entrance went off when I went in. The stoner guy behind the counter asked me to go out and come in again, which of course made the security thing go off two more times. He looked at my (very small) purse, and even through his herbal haze could tell I wasn’t using it to smuggle a book into the place. (Who’d smuggle a book IN, anyway?) Then he spotted the (much larger) camera, and had a Good Idea. He thought maybe I could just leave my camera with him while I looked around the store. I countered with a Better Idea: that my camera, my purse, and I just go ahead and leave. Which made the security thing go off one more time…
