Building in Colorado City

Today was a lovely weather day.  About 70 degrees with a slight wind. 

 By the middle of the afternoon I decided I needed to get out of the house and get some fresh air, so I drove to Colorado City.  I've been there before and taken photos there as well, but I never got this perspective of this abandoned building that might have been a hotel,

About 7.5 years ago I took some images of this structure.  At that time there were signs indicating that the building would be remodeled and refurbished.  So far that hasn't happened.

It's sad to see this structure continue to go to wrack n ruin.

Abandoned Apt Building

I took a ride to Colorado City today and, among other things, photographed this building.  I remember being there about 5.5 years ago and photographing the same building then, but a different perspective.  The windows were not boarded up back then and I seem to remember a sign on the building saying that it would be refurbished.

Well all these years later and there's no refurbishing happening.  Just the empty building. 

The weather today was spectacular~~temp was about 80 and there was a slight breeze.  Wish it could be like this all the time.

Vacant hotel and silos

These structures are located in downtown Colorado City, Texas.  The hotel, as well as many other spaces in downtown Colorado City, has been vacant for as long as I've lived in Texas, and in spite of that the structure is very well taken care of.  I can't quite figure that out.  

The silos are located along the edge of the railroad tracks and they look as though they're used regularly.

According to the data from 2021, the population of Colorado City was 4,391.

It is the city seat of Mitchell County.  It is approximately 1 hr 10 minutes north of San Angelo.

My heart is grateful that:

I forced myself out of the house today to take a photo roadtrip
