Dead K Mart #3: Loading Dock
This dead K Mart is on a lot that’s over 36 acres, which is a lot of empty space right in town.
But at least there’s an old mattress out by the loading docks.

Dead K Mart #2: Garden Center
I looked through all the windows that weren’t covered with brown paper. This was the garden center; everything’s gone except the row of advertising banners high on the wall.
According to the real estate listing for the property, the building is 178,158 square feet. It’s all empty now, of course. But way in the back, some lights have been left on – are we supposed to think someone’s home?

Dead K Mart #1: Parking Lot
This is the first in a four-part series of images of the out-of-business K Mart here in Lubbock.
The store closed late last year, one of 64 stores that were closed nationwide. This one does still have a dumpster and a mailbox, though the reasons for them are unclear. Wait! I just realized that I didn’t look inside the dumpster…it’s possible that I missed something important. But probably not.

Kendra’s Art
Kendra McCartney, of K:McCartney Studio, is one of the artists-in-residence at the Charles Adams Studio Project, here in Lubbock. We met last year in a letterpress class, and she also teaches art at my granddaughter’s school. (Lubbock’s a small town, in a lot of ways.)
Anyway, I like her pottery.
