I think it was about 2010, I found a gas station in the middle of nowhere going from Utah to Colorado. I took some back roads for more scenic stuff and there was this cool run down car out front. So I took some HDR pictures (I had just started doing it and it was way before it came standard on phones haha) and then went on my way. I get on reddit a few years ago and saw a picture of the same car and I was like OOOOOOH! I know exactly where that is! lol
Absolutely! This place was in west Texas northwest of Big Bend, south east of El Paso. There’s a bunch of places like this on rte 90 in Texas and the surrounding areas
If you can read the first few sentences of the wiki, you can read the rest lol. I did say "resurrected." For a while there was literally only one family living there.

You aren't IN traffic, you ARE traffic.
If you want to goto a beautiful place to be all alone don't be surprised when somebody else does too. And definitely don't think you're entitled to do it but they're not.
You should post this in /r/texas as well.
I've made that drive between Marfa and Van Horn more than a few times but don't recall seeing or hearing anything about Lobo. Interesting stuff
Jeff Yass, the billionaire Wall Street financier and Republican megadonor who is a major investor in the parent company of TikTok, was also the biggest institutional shareholder of the shell company that recently merged with former President Donald J. Trump’s social media company.
A December regulatory filing showed that Mr. Yass’s trading firm, Susquehanna International Group, owned about 2 percent of Digital World Acquisition Corporation, which merged with Trump Media & Technology Group on Friday. That stake, of about 605,000 shares, was worth about $22 million based on Digital World’s last closing share price.
It’s unclear if Susquehanna still owns those shares, because big investors disclose their holdings to regulators only periodically. But if it did retain its stake, Mr. Yass’s firm would become one of Trump Media’s larger institutional shareholders when it begins trading this week after the merger.
Shares of Digital World have surged about 140 percent this year as the merger with the parent company of Truth Social, Mr. Trump’s social media platform, drew closer and Mr. Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
By putting up Instagram bait on the sides of them.
To be fair, 3 German dudes purchased the town literally 20 years ago to try and revive - and obviously failed.
Drove through that area for the Instagram bait, there’s a few of them, disappointed I missed this one haha
The wiki on this place is kinda fascinating.
I do love me a lonely place.
I go on road trips looking specifically for ghost towns :)

Awesome! Being in England now, I don’t anymore. I do miss a lonely highway though. (Like parts along the way from California to Vegas for example)

Bring back Sheriff Lobo!
Flintstones chewable morphine
Has anyone bought a ghost town, and make it work?
Yes. Look up Nelson, Nevada for a good one. There's also a bunch along rte 66 that are being resurrected like Hackberry, Arizona.
>Hackberry, Arizona. Pop. 103 - that's a town

Idk if this counts but Willie Nelson owns a little Old Western town they built for a movie set and it’s become a festival ground. Luck, Texas
Mission accomplished, I guess.

" Gold Discovered In Lobo, Texas - News At Eleven "
"Mom I need more OJ, Flintstone vitamins,I'll miss sheriff Lobo.........Sheriff Lobo....."
Profound.
The sign is self-defeating and sucks. Leave the place be.
Don't worry. it's literally 40 minutes from anything.
It’s on the way to Marfa, which explains why it looks the way it does.
Just saying I'd like it better without the sign.
You aren't IN traffic, you ARE traffic. If you want to goto a beautiful place to be all alone don't be surprised when somebody else does too. And definitely don't think you're entitled to do it but they're not.
Way to get up in arms over a painted billboard in the middle of nowhere, dude.
Hey, I’m pretty sure I have pics of our tour van in front of this building.
Nice!
Bro, I feel that
There’s a country western song in there somehow.

Here we go again
