This poor old building….it’s got a notice from the City of Levelland posted on the front door telling the owner the place has been condemned and will be demolished.

For quite a few years, the building was the location of a business called – according to the spray-painted sign on the front – the Lawn Mower Fixer. Mr. LM Fixer often changed his business phone number, if the frequently re-spray-painted numbers on the brick wall were any indication. Sometimes I’d see him out front, looking over the mowers that had been left to be fixed.

But I guess he was eventually so successful that all the mowers in town were fixed and the source for his business fell away.

Or something like that.
