Have you ever been to Thurber, Texas? Or passed it while driving west on Interstate 20? There’s not much there really. It’s a ghost town with a reported population of five. On the north side of the freeway you’ll find the Thurber Fire Station, some empty brick buildings, a smoke stack memorial for the old coal mines and The Smokestack Restaurant which serves a really good chicken fried steak–a Texas favorite.
For Ruby Tuesday, I thought I’d share this photo of the Thurber Fire Station.
And this one of the red brick smokestack a memorial of the coal mines and miners.
And the red brick buildings…
Then after a Sunday afternoon lunch of that delicious chicken fried steak and homemade mashed potatoes, we drove further west to walk about Eastland, Texas where I found this window display at a little shop named “Somewhere in Time.” I shared a black and white version of this image a few weeks ago for Monochrome Weekly but I also like the color version and his red bow tie and Ruby Red lips.
A bit farther down the sidewalk was this “Antiques and Uniques” Shop with a Ruby Red sign painted on the building…
And then across the square I spied this Majestic Movie Theater sign…red, of course.
I have more photos to share of Eastland and other towns but that’ll be in another post on another day. So for now, I hope you’ve had a wonderful Ruby Tuesday and if you want to see more Ruby Red photos by other contributors, be sure to click on the badge in the sidebar.
