Thread: Road pics

Wife and I went on an afternoon jaunt out to Gordon, TX, thence to Mingus, Thurber, and Ranger, Tx. Those little towns are drying up and blowing away.
Downtown Gordon, TX Main Street at 3:00pm. Waiting on them to roll up the sidewalk.


The old Masonic Lodge, built in 1880 or so. Masons moved out in 1960. Lower floor was used as movie house in the 50's and 60's. Bought for use as an Antique store and never got off the ground. Quietly falling in on itself. Sides are of tin.


Old Gordon Volunteer Fire Dept WWII weapons carrier converted to a small fire truck and obviously derelict.




Headlight with "black out light".

Looks like my town, in a decade or two, it's not even a stop anymore, the highway people go through, but, no reason to stop, except, the best, still running, roadside burger stand around! The Gridley Ice Burgie! Gotta stop and have a artery clogging burger once in a while!
I'll look, and post a pic

Here's my home town, a railroad town, they used to stop here for sheep and hay. Colorful past, dark future. Just a bedroom community or people working someplace else. But, it's home to me. thanks for the pictures Wullie, makes one think, so many futures started, so many dreams, to go the way of the dust and wind.

Looks like good places to go for the Zombie apocolypse....why stay in the big cities where all the zombies will be ?!Warm up the bacon wullie...I'll see ya soon. I'll even bring my own castiron

OR...I could go back up home way and hang out with a gimpy old hockey dude I know.Cast Iron and smelt kinda go hand in hand. We could amuse ourselves watching the Zombies try to navigaqte a can opener or two !

Why do you gotta bring that into it!!?? ~ castiron~ If I end up in Zombie Land, I want my nuts, there will be a need to re-populate.

Umm....Not sure how to answer that Don. I don't believe yer ghoulies are goin anywhere ? I also don't beleive there will be a moritorium at that point on carnal activities , although conterparts may be semi scarce or a little preoccupied with blowin away zombies.But I'll not get in your way.I'm gonna have me some bacon though and yer more'n welcome to share in the porcine feast as bacon may start to get scarce at that juncture. I would hate to die with out my last meal O bacon.......I mean.. we are talkin bacon here dude ! BLT before blown brains in my book ha ha !

Oh, sorry, my bad, I thought of castration. I did win a rib cook off in 09 against 32 teams, am I still in?
