I haven’t posted a Tuesday Time-Waster (something to waste your valuable time at 11:11 a.m. PDT) in, oh, let’s just say a long time. But I saw a blog post that just begged to be shared, so here you go.
I love amusement park rides. The bigger, the faster, the taller: the better. But what happens when amusement parks get senile or get destroyed by Hurricane Katrina? They become wastelands.
And that’s just one amusement park. Here’s a GoogleSightseeing.com blog post about them. That post has links to other parks and maps. It’s sad, but it’s also fascinating to see how time marches on, despite our valiant efforts to stop it.
I am totally obsessed with abandoned things: houses, buildings, parks, etc… Spike just bought me this awesome book about Detroit a few weeks ago. Thanks for the this, or maybe not, cuz now I’m going to be reading all the things.
Wait, I can’t read all the things because the link doesn’t work.
Oops! I fixed the link now! Thanks.
Abandoned things are fascinating, because they must have so many stories behind them. Sometimes, though, they’re just sad (like Detroit).
Aw, sad! And kind of spooky! I like it
