collard greensNeed a mess of collard or turnip or mustard greens for supper? The produce field on US 87 south of the former "strip" was open today. Might have to call Grannie from Beverly Hills for the recipe.

tony dorsettPaintings of Cowboy stars like Number 22 adorn the hallways at Cowboy Stadium. At first impression, the structure is more resort hotel than football arena. Today's visit as part of MMRS Workshop showed us places not on the usual $49.50 tour. Led by a member of the Arlington Fire Department, we saw the usual sights like the field, the huge Scantron, the Absolut club, a private suite and other places like the control room, the command center, one of the first aid stations equipped like an ER and even the jail with its two cells -- complete with stainless steel toilets.

canyon junctionThe juxtaposition of a "canyon" junction sign in an urban setting intrigued me. I shot the scene earlier in the day but decided it really needed a train. I returned in the afternoon and lo, a train went by! A junction is a place where rail routes converge. As the railroad came to Lubbock in the early 1900s, this junction, now at 2nd Street and Paris Avenue off Avenue Q, was on the south side of the Yellowhouse Canyon. The Santa Fe Railway brought the first tracks to Lubbock but other railroads soon followed. Lubbock became known as "the Hub of the Plains" as tracks radiated to the eight principal points of the compass, resembling the spokes of a wheel. Railways included the Pecos and Northern, the Crosbyton-South Plains, the Fort Worth and Denver South Plains, Burlington Northern, and the West Texas and Lubbock, which still runs today.
