i love abandoned places! they are eerie but so intriguing.
this website: http://www.opacity.us/locations/ has by far the BEST photos of a wide variety of abandoned buildings, the photographer is awesome, and i can literally spend HOURS looking through them...amazing!

To me an abandoned building brings the evokes the same feelings as when I see an elderly person: I think back to their former glories, see them in their youthful beauty, imagine their lives way back when, their loves, their losses, and I imagine what may have brought them to the present. Seeing time pass in general gives me a sorrowful feeling, especially when people do not appreciate the past, take it for granted, tear down historical places to erect a money making atrocity, and rid society of the places that remind us of yore. Things that are our history, heritage, and that shaped the world we live in.

GAWD, I love abandoned buildings! When I'm not wasting here here at FAD, I'm usually wasting time looking at photos of abandoned buildings. I'm too wimpy to actually go in most of them, but I love looking at other peoples' photos.

I took some abandoned house photos just recently. They are on my profile page. There is a cartoon or something in one photo and an awesome car in a garage. Most of the pics didn't turn out. Alot of them were fuzzy or blurred. Hope you enjoy!

Now that is truly beautiful!The Mudhouse Mansion...

It is strange that so many people choose to be stupid.

that is hillarious!!! holycrap!Morty, That's beautifull. When ever I see an eldrly person I think, "Why the hell are you still driving. Get out of my lane."
I've never been there, but I did have a birdhouse once that had "See Rock City" painted on the roofAnybody been to "Rock City" in North Georgia...there's a really creepy & abandoned "amusement park" up on that mountain. I remembered it from the late 80's...wonder if it's still there...

WTF is this? I don't remember this exhibit at Rock City!...It's called Fairyland Taverns...quite weird...

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
Strange and eerie in a way, but if they were fixed up a little I think it would be a cool place to live...
I did alot of reading on that place...was supposed to be a high class resort that never was finished because of money issues. I even looked it up on Google Earth. I found it during my "abandoned buildings" findings...I love stuff like that!!
How absolutely bizarre! Those things do look like smarties. too bad it is so shoddy, I would have stayed in one! I wish they would know about all those strange deaths and the hauntings. How exciting!
Cool, Ich! Great find...
For some odd reason they remind me of the Jetsons. It's weird that no one knows how they fell into such a state of disrepair. You'd think that buildings like these wouldn't be a mystery to the locals.
also in my research I came across Verosha...some wild pics for someone to look up if you want to...a whole city fenced off and crumbling

You can be arrested if you are caught photographing the city.

Jeeze!
Set those thing up here along the coast in MS right now, call them "Condos"; and people will stand in line to pay $400,000 to own one.

After the post about the abandoned pod village in Asia, I got to thinking about Heritage USA and the stuff that was shown in the IFC series done on Jay Bakker a couple of years ago. I found this website:
http://illicitohio.com/SBNO/heritage/tour001.htm
This is a link to a series of photos taken at Heritage USA in 2005. Heritage USA was the theme park-ish resort that Jim Bakker went to jail over. The photo tour is pretty lengthy, but worth it.
HUSA really was a beautiful place in it's day, and some of the pics of the rotten hotel rooms near the end are downright Silent Hill-ish. but if you have some time check it out. It's super neat.
EDIT: This is my first thread. Be Gentle.

I remember seeing that on the Tammy Faye documentary...just a monument to greed and the ego of some people...........
and they should let that tattered, rotting corpse of a monument stand lest anyone forget the deception and avarice that built it...
What she said.....
i dunno, it just seems like someone is going to get hurt there... I know if I lived any closer I'd be one of those people!
I have so wanted to go and "explore"..wouldn't it be great to plunder through all of that stuff...I'm thinking the floors would fall in though.
Just throw up a fence around it... charge admission... then show folks what can happen at the hands of such dangerous and heinous individuals under the guise of "all things good"..... include a nice little video depicting the seven deadlies while popcorn pops in the background

Me too! I always want to stop and break into the abandoned rotten houses that you inevitably pass along the highways down here, but whoever I'm riding with when this urge takes over always thinks that there is something wrong with me and refuses to stop the car.
Wow, what a fascinating link. I Falwell and his ministeries had taken it over. There was that picture of Falwell on a waterslide. This is something I could spend hours looking at. Thanks
Well, in the event we're ever in a car together...we'll stop at an abandoned building...I love them too!! There's actually an empty hospital about five minutes from my house!! There's security though, to keep nosies out of it, like me...
There is a fence, and security, but if you do a google search a lot of people have broken in and taken pics over the years. It's far too large and infamous of a place to keep people out, but I don't know if there are enough of us that would pay admission to see an abandoned park!
It has to be a burden on the town and whoever owns it now.
I think it is being slowly torn down and redeveloped though. I'm glad that there are some pics showing what has become of it over the last 20 years. I guess I always assumed it was a lot smaller, and it was torn down soon after it closed. I can't believe that such a massive place like that is in complete disrepair. The main street shops remind me a lot of Vegas in the '90's.
Geeze, hospitals are scary enough when they are working. I'd crap my pants in an abandoned one. Did you see the Ghost Hunters ep where they went into Waverly Sanatorium? It's an abandoned TB sanatorium in KY. That place gave me the heebeegeebees, and I hear that they turn it into a haunted house during Halloween. I'd die.
Oh that sounds awesome! I would love to do that! The thing is, I can't do haunted houses at halloween....I don't like for real honest alive people to scare me....
back on topic...I saw a docu about this not too long ago...what a shame. So much money put into it..and now look at it...makes me sick. Especially how economy is right now....
I think what is shocking to me about it is that I always assumed that Jim Bakker stole all this money and had nothing to show for it. I never fathomed how massive and posh the whole thing was (and stupid IMHO). It really was such a waste, and so much of it is so decrepit now all that really can be done is tear it down and put something useful in its place.
Wow very cool. The creepiest photo was the one of the slide in the "pool."
They look more like Sweet Tarts!
mmmmmmmm yummy!
I was in a house with pods once. That's what the lady called them, anyway. Each pod had a bedroom, bathroom and separate small sitting/living room area. Hard to describe.
Be great with kids.
Don't know how old the house was, maybe it was an 80's thing
Wow that's crazy.
People's possessions & family heirlooms, lost to them forever.
God its creepier than I remembered. Perhaps that what he looked like in his descent to Hell. Thanks Armcast.
Awesome pictures! Great finds, Ich and Secret~
If these Pod Houses existed in a country that spoke English...I'd be squatting there now...

Excellent first post! They sank a lot of money into that place by the looks.
I am a sick puppy....woof woof!!!

Good one Itch. Did you follow the link to the photographer friends page? Some good images there as well. Tutter posted a link to a girl a while back who went for a motorcycle ride through Chernobyl.

The pictures of Chernobyl are also stark, devasting and ...weird.
That was fascinating. It makes me a little sick thinking how I live paycheck to paycheck and all the millions spent on Heritage and now it sits in ruins.
You can find alot more abandonments, buildings, towns and such here:
http://weburbanist.com/
look under abandonments
(this has been a recent obsession of mine, lol)
I'm fascinated by all this stuff. I don't post on here, but this is one of my favourite forums to read through http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/. It's an urban exploration forum, mainly based in the UK, and they have a look at some of our older abandoned buildings/sites. They surprised me at first, as it turns out they're a really respectful bunch of guys, with a genuine love of these old buildings (we have a lot of them in this country), they don't damage them, just photograph and document them.
I'm slightly embarrassed to admit it but I LOVE Mike Tyson's house...it's so tacky and cheesy...looks the set of a 70's porno...hee!....Is it still like that, does anyone know? Or has someone bought it?
I also remember seeing a ghost programme a while ago featuring a huge and beautiful home in the Us called the McPike mansion...anyone near it, or been there? xx
As of Dec 2007 this is what Mike Tyson's place looked like
http://illicitohio.com/illicitohio/tyson.htm
the dude at www.illicitohio.com has TONS of urban exploration pics and abandoned amusement parks as well...I spent a whole weekend once going thru thewhole site@
Senior Death Hag
LOL, I was just about to post this. Good site.
No, they don't creep me out. Actually, I start thinking, "Hey this would be a good place for a "rendezvous" with my boo-boo-schnookums once we're married, if we're looking for a bit of adventure...
