I did think the yard was a bit too well maintained for the house to have completely abandoned.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335496287080742001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-88846551871970678332008-04-16T12:22:00.000-05:002008-04-16T12:22:00.000-05:00Just wanted to add a note here that the 'abandoned...Just wanted to add a note here that the 'abandoned' house is not as abandoned as it would appear. The house is easily visible from the back of my building (I have Blue Moon Antiques on the courthouse square) and there are occasionally lights on in that house, but I must admit that in the nine years I have been on the square, I have never, not one time, seen anyone either enter or leave that house. The lights are mostly seen toward the back of the house, and only rarely in any of the front rooms. Makes a person wonder exactly who, or what lives there...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06611920105121488575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-58137976328078763002007-11-06T16:49:00.000-06:002007-11-06T16:49:00.000-06:00Peter, those are nice!

I guess it's possible to feel nostalgic about something you didn't even experience personally.<BR/><BR/>The house is pretty cool!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335496287080742001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-78839039922747581752007-02-21T14:46:00.000-06:002007-02-21T14:46:00.000-06:00I too, love these pictures.

The things you could do with a place like that! I guess realtors are right.

I think I'd still do them, anyway, but it is nice to know. I also like the "Brontosaurus solar eclipse" picture.

My only complaint about the renovation would be that the old Indian-esque designs on the tee pees have been painted over.<BR/><BR/>You did tell me about how Horton Foote's home was being renovated in Wharton. What a great thing to do with easy money (lottery winnings). They did a really excellent job. I hope it makes it! They were at full capacity by Saturday morning.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335496287080742001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-22500060791177002992007-02-19T10:07:00.000-06:002007-02-19T10:07:00.000-06:00I have wanted to stay in the Tee Pee Motel since I...I have wanted to stay in the Tee Pee Motel since I was little - back then, each Tee Pee was white with the little top part and door painted to match and each tee pee had a different color theme. (I wanted to stay in the purple one.) But since we only lived 26 miles away, my constant begging got me nowhere... <BR/><BR/>I thought I had mentioned that it was re-opened to you before - my apologizes for not giving you that info!!! Supposedly a guy who won the lottery is who bought them and fixed them up...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
