One of my favorite awesome 'almost ghost towns' in the state.

I can't wait until it is one!

I took my grandma to a doctor in the Chase building once in the '90s.

now that's a bridge!

 

I wonder if L'il Gerardo's is any good?

Ugh. That is depressing.

Chauncey's big brother.

...i looked at my kingdom

i was finally there

to sit on my throne

as the prince of...naah can't...!

 

 

Just beautiful.

I've got a soft spot for this part of the state.  Sad to see the life just draining away though. Unlike Sherman, I don't want Bellaire to become a ghost town. This is home, or the place where many people grew up.  We should be trying to save these towns, not cheering for their abandonment!

I wonder if the mayor's son sings that when he's drunk.

Wow, what a beautiful place. That bridge is really something.
