Months and months ago Tiffers and I spent a whole day exploring a town in east Texas. There were a lot of spots on our radar that we hit up, and a few more that just caught our eyes. This was one of those places. It is a small service station/tire shop/automotive garage with nothing much to its name or architecture. But I loved the murals on the wall and really enjoyed the light and shadow play in the place. I wish I had taken more pictures inside. Last time I drove by the entry point was peeled back a lot more and I figure vandals and taggers have probably gotten to the murals by now. I could be and hope I am wrong. Enjoy.

I LOVE stuff like this. So crazy that someone thought it was a good idea to paint a mural of a Firestone store...

So I had not actually noticed it before, but I'm pretty sure the mural of the Firestone store is a painting of the building itself. The left mural is definitely a painting of a building down the road. The Firestone painting strongly resembles the structure, though none of the Firestone logos or memorabilia were left over. I assume at some point it was turned into a mom and pop shop. Thanks for making me think about it a little more.

Oh, this building. I have terrible pictures of this building. Hahaha. Your's are MUCH nicer.

Great shots Indo, really liked the Firestone murals, surprised to see them in such stark difference to everything around them.
