Abandonment

Yet another story of a good building gone bad, once it's abandoned.

Today, in the Detroit Free Press, is an article about the abandoned Highland Park (MI) Municipal Building complete with a slideshow from forgottenmichigan.com.

Visitors to the abandoned building reveal in photographs the decaying state of parts of the building. What surprises me, as in any urban exploration tale I read like this, is just how much stuff is left behind. Items of all types such as old police records and even old guns are in plain sight for the taking.

Rather than commenting further, let me take you to the page in the newspaper. Right here.

If you think it is bad here, you should go to my roommate's old home town of Vincennes. There are many abandoned and decaying buildings there. It looks like a sad memory of small town America
