Ditchin' the 'ol Plant



          They were digging out some of the lines that ran through the old asphalt plant before the dozer and the scrapper take over the job. All the equipment including the scale is gone, but the shack is still standing. The “plumbing” has been dug out to make room for the new South Lawrence bypass. This place has lots of variety that most residential or even public places may not. It is like an industrial Stonehenge with the concrete pillars and landings still standing before the coming of the “hoe”. This drawing was done in late in the summer, when fall was being felt, on a windy rainy day. It was before they fenced off most of the area for the 3 year construction project. I was somehow able to get over there on the bike with a sketch pad, and make it back home without getting me or the drawing too wet.
