Old feed store warehouse turned into Cemetery_rd_house.

This house has been vacant and boarded up since I was a kid Live_Oak_house__12_m  even then it was too far gone to save belongs to the city now Live_Oak_house

Coming out of the city park looking south Livengood gin

A couple blocks off of the square we find Big Dog Neon

This is also remained the same since I was a kid, mowed and weeded around,the neighbors yard Behind Dad's shop

For 20 years the city historical society along with the black community have been trying to determine if this is an actual "Roosevelt School" or not; but finally 5 years ago they raised enough money to partially restore the  Old Black School



 
  • You certainly have a treasure house of great old buildings and such in your area and you capture them very well.

    I really enjoy them!

    Great job Ashton!

    Aston, very nice post..I esp. like Live Oak 12!  I like Behind Dads Shed but either completely blur background or put it focus...I find myself trying to figure out what that is on the left side.

  • I'd crop out that dark thing - even blurred it's still distracting.
