Random Pics - Tile Storefronts

In addition to old signs, Abandoned buildings, churches, flowers, etc, etc, I have ended up with quite a collection of pictures of old storefront mosaic tile.  I think they are so cool and I love to find them.

 This is not the typical mosaic tile but I think it is really neat!  This is in Chicago, in an area that seems to have once been quite the furniture sales mecca!

 Here is one in Chicago that is almost totally gone.

Another one in the Chicago area.

 Again, this is in the Chicago area.

This is in front of a Hotel in Downtown Fort Worth.  It was almost totally dark when I took this picture. The tilework extends from the door all the way across the sidewalk to the curb!

Another one in downtown Fort Worth, taken with very little light.

Here is another view of the tilework at the Ashton Hotel in downtown Fort Worth.

This is a close-up of some tilework - but I cannot remember where it was! I will have to look it up later.

 This tilework is in downtown Georgetown, TX.

Another tile entry in downtown El Paso.  I need to get there during the day so I can see it without the secutiry gate!

 This is in downtown El Paso - the store was "The Central"  Furniture Store.  This is another one I would like to get without the security gate.

Random Pics - Cinderblocks

I love taking pictures of Fancy-Patterned Cinderblocks.  Makes me think of my childhood!

Random Pics - Oklahoma Flowers

These pics were taken a few summers ago when I went to Wade, Oklahoma with my mother for a reunion.  It was not a family reunion, or a class reunion, but a kind of town reunion.  Wade, OK hardly exists any more! But quite a few people lived there in the past.
