lubbock's north pole
This is the 54th annual SantaLand hosted by the City of Lubbock's parks department. As I told each new employee orientation class, Mr. and Mrs. Claus are part-time City employees. SantaLand has expanded in its home in Mackenzie Park. Do you remember the original location on 23rd and Avenue Q?

806-68-styleChrome, a shopping boutique located in the old St. Mary's hospital at 2601 19th Street, advertises itself as the coolest store in Lubbock. Their Christmas decor was cool but I'm probably not hip nor young enough to shop there.

last sunset at the sunset motel
The rooms at the Sunset Motel, 2305 Clovis Road, have fresh air and not-so-fresh linens. The "no trespassing" signs discourage visitors from the condemned site. Built more than half a century ago on busy US 84, the motel's quality of clientele declined as the Sunset became a "no tell" motel with semi-permanent, down-on-their-luck guests. The only press on the Sunset in recent years has been about drug busts.

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.

weirI am working on a photography project with municipal departments. My friend suggested a "what is it?" for the blog using some of the pictures. I've told you what this is -- where is it?

G is for GUTSThe Silent Wings Museum in Lubbock, Texas at the site of the World War II training field for glider pilots is host for the annual reunion of the few pilots remaining from the original 6,000 military volunteers who flew beyond enemy lines in a light-weight, fabric-covered, motorless aircraft on a one-way mission. The oral histories offered by these veterans are amazing.

south plains fairThe South Plains Fair opens today. At 4 pm it looked the "fair curse" would hold true as a major deluge hit. By 5:30 the storm had passed and the sun was shining. People could enjoy $1 ride night without umbrellas and galoshes. No, I did not get out of the car.
