Another Abandoned Home

I was driving down a road I've never been on before and came across this abandoned home.  There are so many of them in this area.  The roof is completely caved in but I couldn't get any closer because of the fence around the property.  

I wonder who pays the taxes, or if there are any taxes that have to be paid.

This looks like it might have been a nice home once upon a time.

Abandoned Church or Hotel

This abandoned blue building is located at the end of a road in Gordon, TX. The town is basically an intersection but there are a lot of homes in the area. Some of the homes are old and abandoned and some are newer and up-to-date.  The population in 2020 was 451.

There was no written documentation about what this structure might have been once upon a time, but the marquee in the front gives it the feeling it might have been a church or a meeting place of some sort.  It also reminds me of a small apartment building.

Abandoned Tool Shed

I drove through one of the alleyways in downtown Abilene today and saw this abandoned tool shed in the back yard of a house which was not in very good shape itself.

Alley Fire Escape

In the alley behind one of the businesses in Abilene, there's a black fire escape that covers the entire side of the building.  It's kept in perfect condition.

Number 203

I got my hair trimmed today in a town about 20 minutes from my house.  Just beyond that town, about 10 minutes farther, is Baird, where there's an amazing pizza place so I drove there

to order a pizza I could have for lunch and then leftovers.

While I was waiting for the food to cook, I walked around the tiny town with my camera and came across these numbers on this building and decided to grab a shot of them.  I've seen them before, just never took a pic of them. 

The weather was nice, about 52 F with a slight breeze.  I wish the weather would stay like this a lot longer but I don't imagine that happening.

Cypress Street Restaurant

I was downtown the other day and came upon this restaurant from a different direction.  I really liked the way the sign looked against the building with the blue sky in the upper corner.

I don't think I've ever eaten in this establishment, but maybe one day I will.  It seems to do a good business.

Silver Fire Hydrants

The weather was beautiful today, right around 81. 

I walked around town a little and saw these fire hydrants.  I've seen them before, but the light was so beautiful today I couldn't resist making an image of them.
