On a long stretch near Elton, Texas I saw this image in passing. A lonely building and a sign announcing its sale. As I took the picture I wondered how many sermons, baptisms, weddings and funerals long since forgotten occurred within those walls.

Zephyr Store and Lodge
A working store in Zephyr, Texas.
The interesting thing about this to me is that Zephyr was never that big in the first place. However, that small square in the middle of the second floor signifies that this was a site of the Mason's lodge there when the structure was built.
The building doesn't exist anymore. A tornado came through and destroyed it.

Underwood's
Underwood's was a chain of franchises at one time and the chopped bar-b-q, orange potato salad, all you can eat yeast rolls and cherry/peach cobblers were a staple from the restaraunt on Route 66 in Amarillo for my family in the 1960's.
Sadly, the franchise locations have slowly all closed and the only one left is the family-owned site in Brownwood, Texas.
I traveled about an hour out of my way on a recent trip just to experience Underwood's once more.
