Shoot And Leave

In the rush to return to some semblance of normalcy in the post-COVID era, we have resumed traveling. And I mean traveling with reckless abandon. Forget about high gas prices and air fares, we’re just doing it anyway.

The big trend this summer was a European vacation—not the movie, but your own vacation. Personally, I drove 14,000 miles on three long trips, and went to Costa Rica. Pent-up demand was certainly driving all of us.

But a new problem has emerged in this digital era: overtourism. Essentially, the problem is this: People are flocking to tourist hotspots, taking and posting selfies, leaving without spending any money (or very little), and then, thanks to social media, inspiring others to visit also. It’s a cycle that some cities are now trying to combat by imposing tourism taxes.

And it is not much unlike the congestion tax we see in places like London, whereby drivers pay £15 per day to drive into the congestion zone. Some cities are charging $5-$10 per day for the privilege of day tripping. I doubt they will deter people though, especially once you factor in the cost of getting there in the first place. What’s another $10?

Overtourism is also happening locally. The Cadillac Ranch opened in 1974 as an art installation that the Ant Farm creative team developed and then sold in concept to Stanley Marsh 3. A few years ago, I interviewed the two surviving members for a feature that appeared in ROUTE Magazine. They never intended for the cars to be spray painted; that just happened organically. Located along I-40 a couple of miles west of Amarillo, it is reported to have more than two million visitors each year. It was even moved in 1997 from its original location a few feet west of the new Sam’s Club, to allow room for the city to grow.

So popular is the place that TxDOT had to install concrete jersey barriers to separate the Frontage Road from the freeway (to keep people from just driving through the grassy median to get there). I always scratched my head over why Marsh (who died in 2014) never monetized the place. That all changed two years ago when his family trust (to whom he had bequeathed the ranch in 2013) put a merch trailer onsite. The trailer sells t-shirts, caps, and the usual trinkets, as well as spray paint.

Duh. That was an easy one, because, as rumor has it, until then, the Home Depot at Soncy and I-40 was reputed to have the highest spray paint sales of any store in the chain.

Alas, people have taken to painting anything and everything, including the dirt, the road, the fence, and even the jersey barriers. On weekends, there is a traffic snarl along that stretch, with dozens and dozens of cars parked helter skelter. Tourists do their thing, take selfies, and post them.Then the cycle continues.

Good on the Marsh family trust to finally figure out how to separate people from a little bit of their money, but not all places are as lucky. When selfies in unique places become a prize unto themselves, a trophy for having been so cool as to seek out those places, there is always the risk that visitors will shoot and leave.

Wouldn’t it be nice if even just 10% of those Cadillac Ranch visitors stopped long enough for fuel or a meal? Better yet, how about lodging? I bet most people just keep going, though.

I am particularly guilty of this. Heck, my Facebook profile pic is of me standing by—wait for it—that familiar row of painted Cadillacs. And I have done this in many other places. It was no different from when we went to Carhenge in western Nebraska a few years ago. Snap snap snap…and off we went.

My passion is photographing roadside America, specializing in vintage neon signage, but also including the 1960s-era fiberglass Muffler Men and other oddities. Often I will shoot a selfie after I have finished doing my usual photo documentation. I seldom stay long enough anywhere to spend money, though. Some of the most common questions I am asked are “Did you eat there?” and “Did you spend the night there?”

If I did that, I would never be able to photograph as many things as I do.

As for cities and states that are tourism magnets, it is often a love-hate relationship. You hope people linger long enough to spend lots of money, but at the same time, you begin to loathe the traffic problems tourism can create. Just try to drive through Orlando Florida any time of the year. Or, to pick on a city closer to home, Albuquerque during Balloon Fiesta.

Then there is the case of China, the second biggest economy in the world. When I took my Chinese-born daughters there in 2019, we shot and posted tons of photos. While the notorious “Chinese Firewall” keeps residents from accessing western media, all it took was a VPN pointed at Hong Kong for us to dodge that bullet. And I suspect that the Chinese are good with this, because we basically became their pro bono advertising agency.

Ah, but China just lives with congestion. Bring it, baby, and bring lots of US dollars.

If anything, we can thank smartphones, social media, and always-on internet for putting a lot of this into hyper-drive. I don’t see things getting any better, short of another pandemic (please, no). Just don’t hog the space. Take your selfie and get out of the way. We’ve all got influencing to do.

The Importance of Regular Tree Care in Amarillo, TX

Pruning the trees on your property is not only about how they look but also a necessity. Tree maintenance is important in order to keep your trees strong, secure, and alive for many more years. Failure to maintain trees may result in dangers for example, falling branches or a diseased tree that is a threat to your property or your safety..

Here are some of the critical reasons why Amarillo TX tree care is essential for any homeowner or business owner:

1. Tree Health and Growth

Maintenance which includes trimming and pruning of trees is important in order to enhance the health of your trees. Tree trimming in Amarillo involves the process of cutting off unnecessary branches that may be dead or infected through which circulation of diseases will not affect the rest of the tree and crops.

Trimming also helps facilitate free air circulation, as well as appropriate exposure to sunlight that is essential for the health of such a tree.

2. Safety and Hazard Prevention

Neglected trees are dangerous especially during storm or wind breakage since they pose threats to property and lives. Some can fall off due to diseases or are overgrown and may cause a lot of harm to property or even harm individuals. Also, trees which are planted close to the electrical power lines or other structures may be dangerous.

Neglected trees are dangerous especially during storm or wind breakage since they pose threats to property and lives. Some can fall off due to diseases or are overgrown and may cause a lot of harm to property or even harm individuals. Also, trees which are planted close to the electrical power lines or other structures may be dangerous.

3. Preventing Damage to Property

Large trees are also dangerous to structures, pavement, pathways, driveways, and even the foundations of establishments. The roots of large trees can grow under concrete or through the walls of your house. Branches that are too low may rub against the roof and cause scratches on the shingles or even break them, therefore requiring the homeowner to spend some more cash on the shingles.

Siding Options For Homes in Amarillo TX

Siding Amarillo TX is crucial for the overall look of your home. It protects it from the elements, insulates it, and enhances its curb appeal. However, it is not easy to maintain. Whether you need a new paint job or are looking for a more long term solution, there are several options to consider.

Vinyl

Vinyl is an affordable option for homeowners looking to update their home’s exterior. It is also available in a wide variety of colors and styles. It is less expensive than other siding materials and doesn’t require frequent painting. However, it does not withstand high winds or severe weather conditions. It is also prone to color fading and scratching.

If you are considering using vinyl siding on your home, it is best to hire a professional contractor for installation. Even the best-made product can become damaged or warped if it is not installed correctly. The professionals will know how to fasten the vinyl properly so that it can expand and contract with changing temperatures.

If you live in an historic neighborhood, make sure to consult with your local historic preservation department before installing vinyl siding. Most historic neighborhoods have strict guidelines about what can be used to update the exterior of the home. This way, you can avoid the risk of removing the historic façade to install vinyl siding.

Fiber cement

Fiber cement siding is a popular construction material that offers the look of wood paneling without the costly maintenance and sturdiness of real wood. It’s also fire resistant, making it an ideal choice for homes in areas with high wildfire rates. It’s also a safer alternative to other types of siding, such as brick or synthetic stucco.

The siding is made from Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers. The manufacturing process includes a number of other additives that improve the durability of the finished product. The fiber cement siding is available in a variety of finishes and colors, including natural wood-look.

The siding is available from a number of manufacturers, including James Hardie and Allura. Both of these companies offer a variety of siding styles and trim pieces, such as soffits. The soffits are designed to protect the underside of roof eaves and attic ventilation. They’re available with visible or concealed attachments. Professional installation is recommended for these products, as they’re heavy and require proper nailing to ensure structural stability.

Liquid siding

Unlike traditional paint, which tends to chip and peel over time, spray on siding is long-lasting, durable, and color-rich. It can be applied to many different surfaces, including wood substrate, masonite, galvanized steel, aluminum, concrete block, and stucco. It also reflects away 97 percent of the sun’s harmful rays and disperses heat, helping your home stay cooler. It also helps reduce energy costs. The coating is also available in more than 1500 colors, a far cry from the limited selection offered by vinyl and aluminum.

Painting instantly boosts curb appeal and increases the value of your home. However, it can be expensive if you need to repaint every four or five years. A better solution is to apply a permanent coating, which looks like paint and lasts for decades. It also protects the exterior cladding from water, mold and wood damage. Its smooth-to-the-touch surface prevents dirt build-up and maintains a fresh, new look. Liquid vinyl siding was developed to last a lifetime and is one of the longest lasting exterior coatings on the market.

Wood

Wood cladding is a classic choice for many homeowners. It comes in a variety of styles, including shakes, shingles and clapboard, making it suitable for virtually any home remodeling plan. It’s also available in a number of different woods, such as cedar and redwood. The wood is decay-resistant and can be stained or painted to match any color scheme.

The primary drawback of wood siding is its need for regular maintenance. Without proper painting or staining, it can rot or be damaged by insect infestations. Termites are especially problematic, but other insects such as carpenter ants and wood-boring beetles can also cause significant damage to the home’s structure.

Roofing Services in Amarillo

When you need roofing Amarillo services, you need to select a reputable and trusted local contractor. A well-maintained roof can help reduce water damage and increase energy efficiency. A roof replacement is also a good idea when the lifespan of your current roof is close to the end. You can find out how long your current roof will last by examining it regularly.

There are a variety of metal roof styles to choose from, including standing seam, shingle-style and tin. They come in a variety of colors and finishes. You can also choose from different gauges (thickness) of steel, although we recommend going with a heavier 24 or 26 gauge.

Metal roofs are more expensive than shingles, but they offer many benefits including longevity and energy efficiency. They are also resistant to severe weather events and fire damage. However, they can dent from falling tree limbs or hail, and they may create more noise in your living space during rain and hailstorms. A metal roof should be installed by a professional.

The type of roofing material you choose for your home will have a big impact on its long-term durability and aesthetics. Some types of roofs are more difficult to maintain than others, and this is one reason why it’s important to research all of your options before making a decision.

Tile roofs, whether made from clay or concrete, provide a high level of visual versatility. These roofs also help to insulate your house and reduce energy costs. However, they are heavier than shingle roofs and require special structural reinforcements.

Tile roofs must be inspected about once per year for signs of moss growth, mildew, or broken tiles. Additionally, the roof should be periodically swept to remove any debris that could lead to water damage. Tile roofs are also more expensive than shingle roofs, but they are extremely durable and long-lasting. Because of this, they can increase the resale value of your home. If you’re considering a tile roof, speak to several local roofing contractors for estimates.
