Welcome to Tomball!

Howdy y'all and welcome to the one and only Tomball, Texas!
I have noticed a certain dearth of my little town on this site, and it occurred to me that maybe I'd change that. this thread is my attempt to include my old explorations of Tomball in a few oversized entries, stables and all.
To start, just a few shots from a day on Main Street.





And of course, for the best chicken fried steak in Texas,

Abandoned places to come.

My dad's family all came from Tomball.
Know any Huebner's?

I'm a blatant waste of time and resources.

No, I can't recall having met any Huebners.
Tomball is just outside of Houston. If things continue the way they've been heading, it'll be another town inside of Houston.

Wow... that brings back memories... I forgot all about Tomball until I saw this thread.

That first picture reminds me of Mr. Hanky (sp?) from South Park.

ANd now, for the biggest whore of abandoneds in Tomball, the yellow silk screen stable!
The pool is known by the local teens as "The Bowl" according to the girl that told me about the legends around the place.

There was a workshop with many unlabeled buckets in one of the outbuildings.









If this post is too large, feel free to inform me and I will do better in my later additions.

Alright, I haven't been back to this thread in a while, not my plan, just college. Anyway, here are the two turn of the century collapses that I've been to. Back when I visited these, I had an even worse camera, and had very little practice with photographing things.

Yeah, it happens when a house collapses. as far as we could tell, one had burned down while still occupied, and the other was mostly empty.

It is what appears to be a giant joint in a used car lot.
From the looks of things, there might have been a pizza joint or other business there before.

Well, despite popular demand, I have nothing else to do, so here are the four.
Four tiny houses in the middle of a field, still on the house movers though it's been so long that the plants have completely obscured them. They were all partially boarded up and lacked any furniture, but there were at least a few interesting things to justify our visit. AS far as we could tell, they had last been used for commercial purposes.
Also coined the running joke of, "Oh shit! Raccoons!"
Anyway, heavy use of both flash and photoshop
A great thing to see after finally gaining access:

Same house, taken from where there should have been a baseboard and an exterior wall before finding an entry point.

Requisite toilet shot

My photography skills are better now, but i felt a need to show the only piece of remaining furniture besides a mattress. Also, requisite solo chair shot.

I'm sure this picture has been taken a billion times. This house had disgustingly kitch decor.

An exterior

lined up holes

Apparently, all access to this room had been blocked at one time.

Further evidence of commercial use

All of the kitchens were set up like this. Just with varying kitchy wallpapers.


Now, if anyone responds, would they rather see th huge stable/ family home complex full of kitchens, the mechanic's, the storage house, or the graffiti church next?
