Abandoned Illinois
A reader sends along a site dedicated to abandoned homes, businesses and other structures, with a few pages dedicated to Illinois... but none in Missouri, interestingly enough. The site's abandonedbutnotforgotten.com and here's the page directly heading towards Illinois.
Worth looking at if, you know, you're into this sort of thing. (Thanks LJL for the pass-along.)
Someone someday please help explain the interest in abandoned buildings. Is it akin to looking at a car wreck? I know if you're in a car wreck, you don't like it; and, I know if you live in a neighborhood with lots of abandonment, you don't like looking at that either. So why so much interest in it by others? What's the attraction? Any theories?
