Lometa, Texas

This is a collection of images of a little Central Texas town that is very dear to me. It was the childhood home of both of my parents, and I spent every summer as a kid down here, sometimes for only two weeks, but sometimes for the whole summer. I've always considered this my hometown, even more so than my real home town of Grand Prairie. This is where my heart is.

It's damp, dark, and dreary, but this is the earliest photo I've ever taken of Lometa. You can barely make out the school way down at the end of the street. At this intersection was the town's only blinking red stop light. There were also four stop signs, as well, in case you couldn't figure out what the blinking red light was for.
