A couple of friends from work and I went out on a photo adventure on Monday...we went to this old rundown horse racing track and took a bunch of pictures. We even got busted for trespassing by two old guys on a golf cart!
The building itself is really cool. It opened around 1960 and was run by The Mob...it stayed open for 2 seasons and was shut down because they couldn't afford to keep it open. The freeway (the I-10) was not built yet, so there wasn't a lot of traffic that far west. They ended up finding a lot of asbestos in the grandstands, so they never re-opened it.
Anyway, there's your history lesson for the day. I will have the rest of the pictures posted in the next couple of days. Have a great week! :)
