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.

this ought to have been in Brownfield
We are right in the middle of what I like to call the Truth in Naming Belt: we’ve got towns called Levelland, Brownfield, Shallowater, Earth, Plainview, Plains, Sundown. And those names are accurate.
Anyway, although I spotted this practically monochromatic scene in Littlefield, I sort of think it needs to be in Brownfield…

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.
