Just Another Pile of Painted Rubble ...


I have been watching the demolition company across the street hard at work tearing down the formerly abandoned megachurch. It's hard to watch it go from a massive complex to an amazing pile of rubble ... with only a few walls left somewhat intact.

This section, though it looks complete, is actually part of an inside hallway that was nearly a hundred feet long. Now it's a piece of outside wall maybe 20 feet long.

Soon to be just another pile of junk.

But before it was gone, I found the heart left behind.

Silly Graffiti Dude



Artists have struck at The Abandoned - again.
I had to laugh over this one ...

But I do love the hearts!

(I have blurred out all "monikers" at the request of the property owners and police)

Stained Heart Booklet



One of the things I look for at the Thrift Store are old books and pamphlets - even if they are stained and ruined.

"Little Blue Book No 408
Introduction to Einstein
William F. Hudgings"
Copyright 1923

I found this booklet in a bin ... ready to be shredded ... and just had to rescue it.

Mostly because it was old.
But partly because of that HEART-shaped stain!!!

Glass Shard Heart



Just when I thought there was no more glass for vandals to break over at the abandoned building ... they found more. Shards of glass lay scattered over the broken concrete and debris.

One of them was a heart!

Shoe in Mud


(It's not the shoe that caught my eye ... it's the heart left in the mud where I pulled it out!)
