not exactly news
Yes. Littlefield IS a dying town. It’s a shame, too, because I know for sure it used to have a vibrant (and award-winning!) downtown. My grandpa lived north of town and a big deal for us was to go see him and sometimes meet up with my Aunt Elizabeth and my cousins – who drove in from Earth, as one does – to go shopping in downtown.
But don’t planning your own shopping trip: practically all the buildings along Phelps Avenue are occupied by only debris and pigeons.

Sometimes when you decide to have lunch at a small-town place you’ll end up having the best lunch ever.
This was not that place, although there were some things that needed to be a photograph.

Oh, yes – here I go again, shooting photos through dusty windows into buildings full of random discards. Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of lamps and most of them are just as nice as the ones you can see here. If you get my drift.

elect dep
I bet I’ve made a thousand trips through Crosbyton. Yet, somehow this trip marked the first time I turned north off the highway on Avenue E. It was definitely worth the extra 1.5 blocks of driving because I found the City Elect Dep and also learned that tires are not, apparently, eligible for any upcoming election.
There is always something to learn, even if you have to make it up yourself.

creepy-town
So. Littlefield. It’s….a place, for sure.
I looked through the window at this particular abandoned place and the conglomeration of things – those candleholders, the arched staff things, the chair, the mattress leaning on the wall, and that silhouette on the wall gave off a particularly sinister vibe.
Now, you might think that this plus that creepy dude from yesterday’s photo would have been enough to keep me from returning. But maybe you also know me and won’t be surprised to find out that I went back just a week later. And it was still creepy-town.
