Abandoned Buildings-and Other Places Where Time Stopped
I have this thing about abandoned businesses, such as restaurants, hotels or stores. Something about seeing places like these, all still set up, but closed down for good, gives me the willies. To know that a place was once filled with people and activity, but is now probably going to be torn down, haunts me.
I remember when I lived in Connecticut and worked at an amusement park, that was close to my home, one summer. It shut down the next year. Driving by it, and seeing everything still set up, but empty of any people, made me feel like "the last person on Earth", like someone out of an episode of "Twilight Zone". Does anybody else get this eerie kind of feeling about vacant businesses?
