Maybe I misjudged the place
I’ve lived almost my whole life in the western part of Texas, so I think I know how to read a place accurately and quickly.

I am almost positive that this town has more pigeons than it does people. The official population (of people) was 384 (in 2016); there were at least that many birds living inside this single building.

So, that photographer is also the genius behind this amazing collection of motorcycles. The Patient Spouse and I spent an enjoyable couple of hours here the other day, making the $10/person entry fee the very best bargain in all of Dallas. There were two friendly employees who were more than happy to talk about the motorcycles as long as we wanted, but were also happy to leave us alone, too.
And I didn’t even LIKE motorcycles before I visited this place…

Even the fence around the sewage-treatment plant has become a place to hang crosses in memory of loved ones.
