Once a booming mining town, Picher was long in decline after mining ceased, before being slowly poisoned in a decades-long environmental catastrophe. It was designated as an EPA superfund site in 1983 with the goal of remediating the town’s toxicity, but in the 1990s they deemed the entire town uninhabitable, and began buying the residents out of their land. If Picher had not been dealt enough ...

Beyond the glitz and glamor of the strip, A half mile east of old downtown is a cluster of abandoned motels essentially frozen in time. They had names like the Star View and the Lucky, one story themed buildings wrapped around parking lots and swimming pools, their neon signs harkening back to a mid century vegas boom. It’s been 80 years since the first motels appeared on East Fremont Street, a...

Almost a year ago, I made a video about the Luther Hotel, a historic 120 year old seaside hotel in the small texas town of palacios that was about to be torn down, an unfortunate but not uncommon outcome for buildings like this. Just when the hotel was on the brink of demolition, and crews had begun cleaning out the interior, a dedicated cohort of preservationists teamed up to imagine a differe...

On a hill in the north end of Crockett, Texas, are the crumbling remains of a grand, seemingly out of place structure. The four story second empire building towers over the surrounding landscape, and although it’s been abandoned for fifty years now, when it was conceived it was a revolutionary institution for the state of Texas. This is the Mary Allen Seminary, and in 1886 it became the first c...

In the bustling streets of Queens, New York is a hidden place unlike anywhere else in the city.

atotb.org/ Emmanuel Nunez is not your typical Houstonian. In a city where the average commuter drives nearly an hour a day, he almost never gets in his car.

Over 200 miles inland, Dallas, Texas is an unlikely port city. Nonetheless, for a hundred years of the city’s history, on and off efforts to make the Trinity River navigable resulted in what is today six abandoned dams and locks intended to be part of a network leading from Dallas to Trinity Bay. Let’s explore them! SOURCES | FURTHER READING 1. www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2023/mar...

This wood clad three story building dates back to the establishment of the settlement as a railroad and resort town in the early 1900s, and has been a fixture of the city’s waterscape ever since.

Located in the far Southeast corner of Texas along the Louisiana border, Port Arthur is a city built for a boom that busted. Home to the nation's largest refining complex, the city developed on oil money and blue collar jobs. But as the turbulence of the 60s and 70s and the decades long decline in refining jobs took hold, Port Arthur became a shell of the city it once was. SOURCES | FURTHER REA...

    I went here several times in the 70s and 80s as a kid. I have old pictures of me there. There was a penny arcade and one of the attractions was a piano playing chicken. When you rode the skyline over to the other side there was a huge alligator on exhibit. I sat there forever just staring at it. It was wonderful as a child to go there. I'm sad it's all gone now.

    "Henderson Field" was NEVER the name of the airport on Midway. That name was given to the airport on the island of Guadalcanal, in the Solomon Islands. Lofton R. Henderson was a Marnie Corps fighter pilot who flew from Eastern Island (Midway) and was killed in the Japanese attack on the morning of June 4, 1942. With regard to Midway, there were no runways on Sand Island (Midway), the westernmost of the two major islands that comprise Midway Atoll, before the end of World War II. During the Battle of Midway, Marine Corps and Army Air Corps airplanes flew from the runways on Eastern Island (only). Those runways are now disused but can still be clearly seen in aerial photos.

    IF it ever happens!! They've been talking about bullet trains to Dallas for over 40 years and nothing!! I'd rather traditional train service through Houston resume and they make use of heavy rail transit from the far outlying suberbs into the Loop 610 area to transfer to Metro buses. Houston will never sort out it's transit problem!!

    This really brought back memories. I was fascinated by WW2 , especially the Pacific theater in my early teens. Read a lot of library books about. Then, in 76 and 79, visited the island on board a destroyer. Lots of the crew went to the bowling alley, evidentially there was a bar. Not for me, both times headed down to a beach with a couple of shipmates and went swimming and laid on the sand. So relaxing and beautiful, windswept. Someone told me they talked to a diver stationed there, and there were warplanes in the ocean off the beach. The water in the harbor was so clear and blue.

    A bullet train, or HSR is the stupidest thing ever, for Texas. Put on your thinking caps. Ha! *It goes from Houston to Dallas - please let me know why it's important to travel between these two cities rapidly... *How many people will be riding on this train between these two cities? Is it a justification of the costs? *Just because we can build something, does not mean that we should...Texas is unique all on it's own. We don't need to copy what other places have to be relevant - because that's all it would be, in reality. This toy train does not help the masses. The one's that are proponents stand to gain money from this project. Do not believe that they are doing it for Texan's benefit.

    It is late in the day, but the planned route should borrow from Herb's light bulb moment to connect the three major metroplexes. The central point of IAH/DFW/SAT is around College Station and Waco. Instead of a Delta configuration, the route could conform to a three-legged stool.
