Between Plains and
Brownfield, TX is a little community
that has turned
into a ghost town. It is Tokio, TX. A very
sentimental place
for many of the residents in Plains.
We drive through
there every time we head to Lubbock.
It is so sad to
see the old buildings falling down. My favorite building'
was the Post
Office, and it is now gone.
The Store, School
and Baptist church is falling down too!
I have painted
them all at some point in time. I took pictures back in
the 80's as I
passed through taking the kids to piano lessons, and now
I am so glad that I
did! My Grandparents who would be over 100 now,
spent a lot of time
in Tokio at 'Play Parties' where they danced and visited.
I love old
nostalgic things, and their memory needs to be preserved
someway even if it
is just on a small piece of board.
