It’s been more than a week since I’ve posted, a lifetime for this blog. This is of course the time of year where I post a lot over on Huskermax.com, and will continue to do so for the rest of the year. Last year, fall was a time where I felt I didn’t have a lot to say, and that has proven to be the case again this year. But I still have plenty of photos, and these shots come from around my new end of town.
The empty place…
This house is right down the street from where I live. It’s the prototypical empty house, with some overgrown bushes and grass, but it probably wouldn’t take that much work to be a livable home. I hope someone jumps on it.
Step up!
Stairs for a sidewalk are like basements that you can go outside through, signs of geographic anomalies that cause for such construction. I always think of sidewalk-stairs as a special place, even though I never use them because they are on tighter streets that I never feel like walking on.
Last Side Road out of Dodge…
Highway 15 isn’t the only southbound street that leads out of Seward. Second runs out of town on a country road (as does South Columbia for that matter). It’s a backroad to Wal-Mart.
Rail Tracks…
Railroad tracks make up Seward’s south border. Even from my house, I can still hear the trains as they rumble by at night. I’ve gotten more used to it over the last couple of months, but it’s still bothersome.
Power Grid…
I’m sure this mess of steel, right on the north side of the tracks, is where I get my electricity from.
Up and away…
Right down the railroad tracks, next to the highway is a station where I get my sand for work. They also deal in concrete and other raw building material.
What….
This looks like a water tower, but as a kid, I always thought that it poured out sand. It’s probably an old water tower or something.
Turn…
On the right is new office space that was built four or five years ago, along with some storage units. It’s one of the newer units in Seward, and very respectable. And as you can see, the tracks just go on in the distance, toward Pac-‘N’-Save, Hughes Brothers, and the Fairgrounds.
