last tractor standing

Google up a satellite view of East 23rd street and find Kaw Valley Industrial. You may see in the back a couple old ford tractors sitting among the vehicles behind the building.. This drawing is of one of those tractors.  On the 20th, when I did this drawing I did not catch on that the place was closed, only that it was cleaned up from before. Not until walking past the front one evening did I realize it actually was closed. A scribbled sign says they have moved to Eudora.

This tractor is the only thing left on the site, other than the building and a couple signs out front. 

It was an old school place that had served Lawrence residents  many years.
Probably since before we came to town.

But google for once is not as up to date as the drawing- It still shows the scene below...

I ran into this drawing while sorting through sketch books from last fall.
This is way closer to what Google satellite will show you now, though it is actually a couple months out of date.
You can see the 2 twin tractors side by side. The one on the left is the loner done full size above, and the only thing left on the site when the top drawing was on the 20th of March...
This 2nd drawing was done earlier, as it says, on the first of December, 2017.
It is a sketch of the back of the building while they were working no doubt in an attempt to get things cleaned up for the impending move.
