High Plains Drifters

I have always been intrigued, and strangely fascinated, by places that time has visibly changed or is changing. Especially when an entire way of life is disappearing. So it was that I found myself snapping a ton of pics in this small, mostly forgotten, town in New Mexico. The boys did not understand why I kept taking pictures of all these old buildings.

This town looks to have been quite a prosperous little burb before the interstate was built and travelers, it's lifeblood, bypassed it. There are at least a few budding entrepreneurs in the descendents of the original businessmen, though I'm not sure why the one is buying "rocks and things" or is looking for a female vocalist!

I could add several more pics but I know that most are not as interested in abandoned building as I am! ;)
