Traveling through small towns, I find the remnants of old buildings. Some the victims of neglect, arson, or worse—gentrification. They remind me of the faded wall signs advertising local hardware stores. At one point relevant, but now re purposed and forgotten. Replaced by box stores and townhouse living.

I would love to find some of these abandoned buildings. I am a photographer and finding these places is like hitting a jackpot for me. If you like these places too, check out: http://www.abandonedamerica.org/
He's a friend that shares my affinity for abandoned places. Also a great photographer.
Carnealian,
Thanks for stopping by. Check out Urban Explorer at http://urb-ex.livejournal.com. He has some interesting stuff from the Twin City area.
