Miguel & Angelica
I just added a new rule to my other one – always look around back. The new rule is take the other route into town.
I’ve been to Plainview a lot of times. And I always go into town the very same way. The other day, I took a different exit (there aren’t that many to choose from) off the highway, which put me within eyesight of what used to be a big grocery store. It looked nicely abandoned, so of course I had to check it out.
And (around back, of course!) I noticed that Miguel and Angelica had proclaimed their love on a trash container. As one does.

A Musical Variety
This place just has it all. If by “all,” you mean a couple of kinds of music and a lot of very tight dresses.

Just a touch of red
This is as Christmas-y as we get here at One Day | One Image: a little bit of red in an otherwise black and white scene. I’m pretty sentimental, as you can tell.

Booth. Table. Chairs.
I had a meeting in Plainview, Texas, the other morning and I took advantage of being there to take a few photos before I left. Plainview’s only about 45 miles from Lubbock, but for some reason I never think to drive up there and look around.
I’d been missing a lot.
For one thing, there was this place.
And then I saw this scene. That upside-down chair is what caught my eye. But aside from that, there is sort of a lot going on here. There’s a pumpkin, a small trampoline, a stack of tires, a bell, some damaged pegboard. And that plywood: I am thinking of switching my loyalties from corrugated metal to painted-and-faded plywood. I love the way the faded paint shows the grain of the wood.

The blackness
I am posting this now so you have time to mark your brand new 2014 calendars. Come on down to Plainview, Texas, to The Blackness, Plainview’s only professionally run haunted house. They promise to “scare the yell out of ya!!”
Open Halloween-ish.
