The Tyler Theater
I have been photographing old movie theaters. My interest in them comes from Saturday mornings in downtown Youngstown, Ohio, and the 400-500 seat, single screen neighborhood theaters that are mostly gone in Dallas. (The Esquire, Delman, Wilshire, Granada, etc) The theater in this image is in Tyler, Texas, just off the square. It exists as only the facade, the interior is gone. link to image

Texas Stadium Awaits Demolition
We dropped my wife off at the airport so she could visit family in Mexico and I stopped to shoot this on the way home: Texas Stadium in Irving, former home of the Dallas Cowboys awaiting demolition. Arlington down the road offered Cowboys owner Jerry Jones a better deal, including huge tax breaks so Irving in the end will soon have a vacant lot. You can just see downtown Dallas in the distance. Is this about politics? I don’t know, but it is about winners and losers when communities bid (and bet) on sports franchises. link to image
