abandoned

San Jon, New Mexico

the downturn in fortunes for Route 66 businesses affected many enterprises...with less cars passing through town, more than a few were closed down and abandoned

The subject matter seem endless, I must get down there.

Nice find and image David. Someone's loss is no doubt someone else's gain. I feel sorry for the owners of these forced-to-close businesses as they have no doubt put a lot of time, effort and costs into it.

We call it progress while forgetting about those cast aside! You have made a fine monument of the past and ,of those who labored here to serve their customers and to feed their families V

The breath of time passed while the men tried their luck elsewhere... V

Sad to see the decline due to the realigned freeway.

A hauntingly beautiful portrayal of a town caught between past and present, where the echoes of lost dreams linger in the desert air....V

The is terrific. I guess the vehicle in the foreground went for parts.

Superb! The processing accentuates the grim appeal and really spells abandonment. BV~
