Abandoned Places
Now this is really interesting: abandoned places in the US.
Apparently a big problem, that I’d never really thought about, is that the owner goes belly up, the place falls into abandon, and then the cleanup costs pile up, to the point that some of the places would cost tens of millions of dollars to clean up, so no one wants them.
Personally, I think the first one, Mt. Hope Cemetery, would be an incredible buy, as would Sun’s Palo Alto facility, which still looks pretty useable.
If you like this stuff, there is always: http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com
Has pics from similar places from all over the country. More pics from Sun’s Palo Alto facility are there too.
Ooh! It looks like someone already bought the Sun place, though…. >:o
This site is badly in need of a redesign. :-\
An abandoned (due to hurricane, apparently) resort in Hawaii: http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/coco_palms.htm
Or, a Hyatt in Florida, still in nearly-perfect shape? http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/hyatt_hotel.htm
And tell me that this place wouldn’t be awesome: http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/Norman’s Cay Island.htm
Awesome island in the Bahamas? Check. Formerly owned by a drug lord? Check!
