looking for old delapidated houses to photograph (San Antonio, Abilene: live in, retired)

[AFWife1029]

I am newly moved to San Antonio as of August of this last year. I am a big fan of photographing really old falling down houses. I live in Universal City but will travel for quite a ways for pictures. Anyone know of any old houses or good area that I might find some. 210? I have looked at quite a few of your pictures got any ideas?

Any help appreciated thanks everyone.

Go along Highway 90 and you will see old houses on both sides, especially around Kelly USA. You can also visit many of the small towns around San Antonio and see old houses. Some of these places you can go to are Castroville, Bandera, and several others south of San Antonio. Look at a Texas map to see all the towns around here.

De nada! You might also want to try photographing old abandoned barns and wind mills as I have seen these around the area and up north toward San Angelo and Abilene. This presents a stark contrast with nature showing the building slowly decaying back into the earth. (Try south Loop 1604).

BTW: My wife is a RetiredAFWife.

Try some areas of Midtown (Tobin Hill, etc) where homes are old and look like they need great repair. Some might even look like they're about to collapse.

Also, just drive through the inner west and inner east sides, you'll see them there too.

My thanks to you also 210, like I had mentioned in the original post we havent been here long and we live over by Randolph AFB so Im still learning some areas around here. I go to classes at UTSA downtown so wont be to hard to just keep going on I90 past there for some that Steel mentioned. What area if you could clarify is considered inner east?

Thanks
