cash for signs

 

With all the great historic buildings and turn of the century (19th that is) homes in Ballinger, why did this junque store catch my attention for the blog?  Who knows?  Ballinger began as a railroad town in 1898 and the Santa Fe Depot now houses the Chamber of Commerce.  The Runnels county court house (fairly plain after being renovated in 1941 "modern" style) boasts of the largest landscaped lawn in the State of Texas.  The Andrew Carnegie Library, built in 1909, has been restored and is only one of five still standing in Texas.
