Great Food

I think this shot is a stylistic sister of this one, with the lighting coming from outside, the placement of the door in the frame, and the general grittiness of the image.

You wouldn’t believe me if I said I planned it that way, would you?

No, of course you wouldn’t. You’re smart like that.

But in any case, this was a good place to stop for lunch. (I sat at the counter.)

What happened to banana?

Goodness, what a set of flavors to choose from! And what lovely signs, too, with the clip art and multi-colored letters.

All except one, anyway.

The fact of being curved

Industrial architecture used to be lot curvier than it is now, don’t you think?

Fence does its job

That fence over there on the right side of the house is hard at work, keeping things in. Or out.

Either way, kudos to the fence for a job well done!

Abandoned, 1941

One of my co-workers tipped me off about this place. (You can read that story here.)

According to the Texas Historical Society, this school was closed in 1941, when the district merged with one in a bigger town. Obviously the place was well-constructed, since it’s lasted three quarters of a century without use or upkeep. From the looks of it, though, I’d guess it won’t be long now before it’s just a pile of brick.
