Exploring Plainview Texas

Canteloupes

 

I enjoy just ripe cantaloupes. It is hard to believe that we farmed them in this area back in 1912.

 

 

Fencing Down

 

The fencing is down at 5th & Quincy, and now we can get a better view of the new building!

This is an early downtown photo of how businesses looked back in the day.

 

"Recent" Parade

 

A "recent" parade in Plainview, Texas. I guess it depends on how you view recent! It's a fun early photograph.

 

 

Publication

 

Anna, from the Old Mexico restaurant, alerted us to this publication she found at Covenant Health Plainview. I'm sure there are other Plainview folks included, but sharing these...

Oops!

 

Oops! Someone missed the warning signs and landed in the Ennis bridge work area. I do hope they are okay. What a shock that must have been.

 

 

Mesa Drive

 

The Mesa Drive extension is coming along. I know the Westgate addition will love this!!!
