urban renewal

 

Downtown Levelland is showing signs of revitalization.  This building is west of the court house square -- as seen from the alley!

alley art

 

Someone used an alley wall as a blank canvas for his political view.  I would suggest art lessons.

This morning I joined over 20,000 photographers (well, really just 18 in Levelland) on the Worldwide Photo Walk.  I don't know what kind of car this is but I want one (restored, of course)!  I probably spent more time in the alleys than around the court house square seeking photo ops.

old settlers day parade

 

From the loft of the Wallace Theater, DJs from KLVT broadcast live the Old Settlers Day Parade.  The courthouse square was packed with people enjoying the music and visiting the booths.  Funnel cake, anyone?

no, plywood

 

Wonder why a business whose primary product is steel would use plywood for their sign?  And not even keep it painted?  I do.

smoke signals

 

There's nothing really remarkable about the Levelland ethanol plant except today's strong north winds made the smokestacks stream horizontally.  After up and downs the plant is back in production with the capacity of producing the 40 million gallons of ethanol a year.  The plant started making the alcohol-based fuel  by fermenting and distilling starch crops, such as corn  Today the primary source is milo or sorghum -- requiring  40,000 bushels of sorghum each day to produce about 115,000 gallons of ethanol.
