Nameless Church
Neither the sign nor its reflection are revealing even the tiniest bit of information about what sort of church this might be. I guess if you have to ask…

in repose
I am sure you know that when I say “I went to Tulia” it implies that I went to the cemetery while I was there. And it was in the Tulia cemetery where I found two madonnas, at repose atop small concrete slab markers.

Wayfinding
The century-old obelisk in the middle of the street shows mileages to various locations. On the west-facing side, the towns are listed from nearest (Silverton – 32 miles) to most distant (St. Louis – 928 miles). Except there, under St. Louis is Pittsburg, Kansas, which is only 595 miles away. What’s happening? The order of things is wrong! I imagine the Mayor of Pittsburg, finding his way to Tulia because of its listing on his town’s obelisk, getting all puffed up and pissy with his counterpart in Tulia for not having the respect (Respect, I say!) of putting Pittsburg on the obelisk. And not leaving until Pittsburg got its (supposedly) rightful out-of-order spot.
Or, you know, something like that.

Gameroom
There are a lot of high-quality signs out here in this part of Texas. These signs are not included in that group.
This building only recently became a game room, and at first that was announced via the words painted right on the building, something my camera captured more than my eye noticed. My guess is that the landlord gave that plan a big “nope” and the first sign was painted out and was then replaced by the current, missing-the-last-letter sign that’s there now.
At any rate, I was so very happy to find this place. (For the photographic opportunities, not for the games.)
