I love old abandoned buildings, I think they have a charm to them and they can be quite beautiful.

This pic almost looks staged. What a shithole.

In 1989 the Rouge RAP estimated that 7.8 billion gallons of combined sewage was discharged into the river annually via CSOs.

What a eerily beautiful place, it like a ghost of a city. Huge monuments of past triumphs and optimism decayed to skeletons. It's a crime these building are/have been demolised, these are the castles future generations should be able to enjoy. I can imagine future holiday makers walking around wearing enviroment suits with oxygen tanks stareing up and marveling at a time before cast concrete.

The Bit were She compares Ghost town to a future Pompei nails it. I can't help but be awed by such mass devistation. That site (Chernobyl) is really worth the ten minutes or so to look through, it stired up a lot of mixed feelings in me. I think the world is going to have more and more of the uninhabited ghost zones until our backs are finaly up against the wall.

That one really caught my eye, it looks like a castle. Think of the awesome home it could be. It could probably be bought for peanuts. Where I live a 1 bedroom condo can go for 400 grand. It's so odd to see buildings abandoned like that.

The whole rust belt (Pittsburgh to Cleveland to Detroit) has some crazy old buildings
We used to party in this building, it had mad skate ramps and quarter and half-pipes and some great graffitti from some really talented heads.
Lots of homeless guys and stairway and elevator shafts open, many of the starways were rusted out and had collapsed, empty space going down for who knows how many floors in the dark.
Supposedly my friend went down in the basement there were a few sublevels with some grazy guys down there, he said some dude pulled a knife on them.??
Now it's been cleaned and renovated..
