The plywood is caving in. I'm surprised no one said anything about that. Motts, you are a very brave man. I do small scale things and not professionally like this in the summers, but you go where I would NEVER tread!
Great gallery the cinema in my town was damaged like this, in the end they kept the facade (it is grade 2 listed) demolished the rest and built a new library there instead interestingly the library has a film club and has film screenings
I'm surprised I didn't see any; we wound our way from Natchez to the ghost town of Rodney through some back roads using a GPS. One crossing had a bridge that looked like it had collapsed 20 years ago, and another road just faded away into the forest... it was fun and kinda creepy getting lost back there!
Hi. I came across your site via twitter. I love it. I love taking photos of abandoned structures on road trips, however I was always afraid of being arrested for trespassing if I were to do what you do. I love your site. I just wanted to acknowledge how great it is and say thank you for doing what you do. This is good stuff. you may reach me at edmazzola@msn.com if you wish to respond. Thank you.
