Abandoned White House on Road

This White House is alone the Main Street entering a small town in central Texas.  It's been vacant for a long time.

Old Army Jeep

There's a military museum in Abilene, TX and in the back alley they have some vehicles behind chain link fences.  This is one of the military jeeps in that area.

Corner Windows

This is another abandoned structure in downtown Cisco, TX.  It's hard to tell what it might have been in its glory days.

Abandoned Railway Station

This old railway station is down one of the side streets in Cisco, TX.  The front part, where the door is, appears to be the entrance where people could purchase tickets and wait for the train.  The rear of the building must have been where they loaded and unloaded freight.

Another View of abandoned bldg

This is another view of the previous abandoned building where you can see a broken window pane and part of the fire escape against a blue, late spring day.

Abandoned Corner Building

This building on main street sits on a corner in Cisco, TX.  It's been abandoned for many years.  Some of the windows are broken, there are curtains in some of the upstairs windows and the main floor is basically one open space.  

The fire escape looks to be in good condition, but who knows.  

I just always wonder if someone is paying taxes on this structure and why they would let it go to wrack and ruin like this.

Cluster of Silos

Down one of the side streets in Cisco there's a cluster of silos.  It's hard for me to tell if the structures are abandoned or used, but it's easy to see that once upon a time they were active and a vital part of the community.

Broken Window

One of the large buildings in Cisco, TX is abandoned.  Many of the windows are broken.  This one is on the ground level and has blue tape covering the broken pane so no one gets cut if they touch it.  The building is about 5 stories high and it's a wonder that it's been abandoned since I arrived in TX seven years ago.  It's just going to wrack & ruin, which is very sad.

Coca-Cola sign

This beautiful red and white wall art is on one of the buildings in an alleyway in Cisco, TX.

It says "Relieves Fatigue" at the bottom, with a 5 cent price.

I don't remember it being 5 cents, but I do remember it being 15 cents.  I drink Pepsi.

Boarded Windows

Walking around Cisco, TX, I saw the building down a side street.  It was abandoned and it had these boards on the windows and doors that I thought were interesting.

Rain in the Parking Lot

It seems like we're getting more rain here in Texas this year that in the previous years.  I'm so, so, so happy about it.  It was raining petting hard the other day, so I decided to grab a pic.  Not too exciting, but I'm happy about the rain.

Baby Quilt

When I only had 3 grand babies and a lot of time on my hands, I decided I'd make each of them a single-bed-sized quilt when they turned 2.  Well, I have 7 little ones right now, but there are only 3 under 2 years.  One of them has a birthday at the end of May, so I got busy and made this quilt for him.  

(There are 2 more who will turn 2 and a great grand baby who will be 2 a year from July.)

I mailed it to him (he's in Alaska) the other day so it should arrive on time.

Windows with Green Awnings

At the far end of Abilene, there's a building with windows and green awnings.  The building might be used as an event space, but I've never seen anyone go in or out of it.  

The building looks like it's being taken care of.

127/365

Another Abandoned Structure

At the end of Abilene there's another abandoned building.  It looks like there might be some restoration going on, but not sure.

Vacant Building on South Side

This corner building is vacant and has been for a number of years.  The wood is painted blue but the windows and doors are boarded up with no access to the inside.

Wonder what the building was originally?

Electric boxes on Pole

There's a vacant lot on a corner in downtown Abilene that is empty except for these electric boxes.

I don't now what they do or what they power, but this empty lot has been like this since I've been here 

for the past 7 years.

The rodeo was great.  This rodeo features events that actually take place on a ranch.
