Well some of y'all know I moved to BFE Texas, so about anything I try to do out here is going to be rural.

I took some flak over my Octagon DB entry, best comment so far was in the moderators forum before I was made a moderator. The discussion was should it be approved for the DB and was it some sort of crop circle! http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=31818

Well my feelings were not hurt, I knew it was a lame entry when I added it. But I enjoyed finding it and researching it a lot more than some of the abandoned gas stations and such.

So heres the newest R.E. find its an abandoned post office from 1878. Towns all gone but U.S.P.S. still maintains some sort of pick-up or drop off box here. Reason is in my opinion many rural customers out here live a mile or more from the road, some don't even live on an established rural route and the postman don't want to drive an extra 20mi + 1 to find out they got nothing to pick up, so here we have it Riman Post Office Riman Texas.
