On my West Texas travels, I passed through San Angelo, which had a very nice downtown.  Some photos:

Professional Building

I didn't see a topic for this building.  I think it houses City of Fort Worth workers now and just wanted to mention that they did a full replacement of all exterior windows within the last month or so.  The windows look nice but seem a little strange to me by  how shiny they are when the sun hits them.

Went to Tyler on Columbus Day for a day trip.  Here are a couple of the photos that I took:
