You won\u2019t find this town on the GPS, it can be found on Bing Maps and Google Maps.<\/p>\n<h3>The Abandoned Bug Tussle General Store<\/h3>\n<p>The only building left in town except for a few local houses scattered around is the abandoned Bug Tussle general store. It has been abandoned for years and in the recent past was a hot spot for photographers.<\/p>\n<p>If you look at older abandoned photos of the building, you will see hanging from the attic window a sign that says Bug Tussle, Texas. The sign was stolen or fell off several years ago. The windows are gone and all that is left is the old general store style wooden counter.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Image<\/h3>\n<p>The image was shot by hand early in the afternoon on a gloomy day with my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00BF9MUBM\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00BF9MUBM&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=evolutdesign-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sony Nex-3N<\/a> and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B003NRHAH8\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B003NRHAH8&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=elemsbackgard-20&amp;linkId=4Y4DCTJDL3ZPYARL\" target=\"_blank\">Sony SEL16F28 16mm f\/2.8<\/a> lens.
