Abandon in Place

...is the title of a short story by Jerry Oltion and Adam-Troy Castro. It also pretty well describes this site.

I love abandoned buildings. I love the echo and the quiet and the sense of something not-quite-right. Abandoned places carry with them all the stories of the things that happened there. Occupied buildings conceal their stories with fresh paint and remodeling and file cabinets and doors. What we abandon retains scraps of what was, things we didn't care enough to take along, hints of who we were and, by comparison, where we've gone.

Cool stuff.
