5 Abandoned


When we moved here 17 years ago this was considered the "country". Now we have every imaginable store within a 2 mile radius including Costco!! This cute little barn used to be in the middle of a field. It has been abandoned for years but now has a CVS about 100 yards away.

  2. Got no idea what a CVS is but I'd make em keep their distance and organize restoration of that shed. Lovely

  3. Ron - CVS is a pharmacy. Maybe they'd have a prescription to help this lovely old barn.

    Nice photo, Mary Lou. Great reds!

    Having the city grow up around you is a blessing and a curse. It's great when you just need to run out for quick errands, but the extra traffic and loss of country feel are downers...

  8. I love old barns, but I hate that "civilization" is creeping in everywhere. Here in Texas we're losing more and more of our farmland, as the farmers are selling out to folks who grow houses on it. Won't be long before all of Texas will be paved!

    Sorry about the soapbox! I do love your shot (thanks for NOT showing the CVS!)

  11. This is wonderful! If you hadn't said that about CVS, I never would have guessed it wasn't in the middle of nowhere. I love the pop of red!

  13. I love this photo. I am in the same boat as you as it relates to growth. We moved here 7 years ago and there were cows in the fields surrounding us. Now, the cows have been replaced with Super Target, Best Buy, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and the list goes on and on. No more cows! Sad.

  14. Charming shot of the barn - too bad the CVS is lurking on the fringes even if you don't see it. Won't be long before the barn is overtaken and we lose great opportunities like this.
