Hi there! Moderately functioning soul that should’ve been born 150 years ago.

@AbandonedAmerica This article reminded me of a couple of the school buildings where I grew up.

The high school is gone except for the auditorium/gymnasium which is now an auto body repair shop. The building was very old (my grandfather attended it) and was replaced in 1977.

The grade school (K through 3rd) looked like this a few years ago. My grandfather was on the school board when it was built in 1939. It still looks pretty solid but I’m sure that leaving it empty won’t help it.

The Lesson

The real lesson we should draw from what occurred Tuesday

Robert Reich

fell in with the wrong crowd…
finally.

huddled a hug of eiderdown in silence the present speaks; if nothing a balustrade of fancies beneath a simple life he seeks.

My soul is full of whispered song
My blindness is my sight
The shadows that I feared so long
Are all alive with light.

Ellis Island's Abandoned Immigrant Hospital: A Dying Hymn | Abandoned America

Many people are familiar with the museum on Ellis Island, but few have seen the abandoned hospital that remains on the island's other side. By Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America.

Half a coconut

Coconut

Baltimore's Abandoned Power House: The Story of Gould Street Generating Station

Once the pinnacle of Baltimore's electrical might, Gould Street wound up abandoned. Here's the story!

Ich denke an dieses alte Bauernhaus, verstorben

C. 1933

Ich frage mich, wie viele gespielt haben

Auf dem abgenutzten Linol

Zwischen den Mahlzeiten bei der Mutter

Die Knöchel

Hat der Staub beendet, die Ernte hat die

Rinder

Die Zeitung, die durch den Boden spähte

Erzählt von besseren Zeiten

Wenn du durchhalten kannst

Nur ein bisschen länger.

I soaked a man in Reno,
just to watch him dry.
