..yeah, I know what you mean..I do think old and decaying things are more interesting than bright shiny new ones...it all seems a bit cockeyed that there are so many empty abandoned buildings and yet there are lots of homeless people....

my grandad lives on a farm and it's next to an abandoned rail way and there's loads of little station house things that have been left for grass/mould/moss to grow over them. I want to look inside them but they are scary

Detroit’s Famous Renaissance-Style Parking Garage

This parking garage used to be a big theatre;
‘When it opened in 1926 at a cost of $5 million, the Michigan Theater was one of the largest in the state, seating over 4,000 people. Serving as a traditional theatre, concert hall and movie house, the venue boasted 10-foot crystal chandeliers, mezzanine seating for black tie guests only, and a magnificent gilded lobby, four stories high and covering 1,000 square feet. Suffice to say, the Michigan was a marvel of the entertainment world and symbol of Detroit’s manufacturing preeminence.'

From blog:

'I saw this abandoned mansion last week from the street and went in with my friend Michel as translator in case we ran into anyone. It took a bit of jimmying to force the door, and inside we found piles and piles of of binders and dozens of black and white photos, all showing one man at various political events.

It turns out the mansion used to be the home of Takieddin el-Solh ( 1908 – 1988) Lebanese Sunni politician who served as Prime Minister from 1973-74, and 1980. The binders were full of voter lists and various political documents. I’m assuming he abandoned the place during the civil war and moved to a more secure location. The house is in the Sunni section, but was within easy artillery distance of the Green Line'

In the city center of Antwerp stands a tall and prestigious building : the former headquarters of the CMB : Compagnie Maritime Belge (Belgische Scheepvaartmaatschappij), founded in 1895 in order to provide regular cargo service to the Congo. In the 1930’s new trade routes to North America, South America and the Far East were added. Dry bulk trade and container vessels overtook traditional liner trade routes. In 1988 CMB bought Hessenatie, the largest general cargo and container handling company in Antwerp..

I'll get down there sometime this week with my friend and take some pictures of the outside for you.

..thank you for sharing the video Jarrod..:love:...it must be so sad and emotional having to pass it every day and seeing what it has become...it was incredibly beautiful and full of lovely memories for so many people once..at least those memories will live forever.....

[Jarrod]

There are some truly saddening images here :(

[Ammi]

..yeah, it's such an incredible building Jarrod..it'll soon be dust and there are so many homeless people...everything seems really screwed sometimes....

[Kazanne]

How sad that beautiful building has come to this,so much potencial,so little interest and as ?Ammi said,so many homeless people could have been helped here.

[Jarrod]

Here you go Ammi! Just for you today, i went to the building itself and took this quick snap. Sorry it's over the wall which has been placed there.

http://i.imgur.com/ntPZzg8.jpg

[Ammi]

..wow Jarrod, that's an excellent photograph, thank you..:love:..the detail is amazing and I prefer it to the google images because it looks much more 'real' and less polished, which I think is perfect for that sort of thing....was the wall just built since the hotel was abandoned..?...

[Jarrod]

No problem! :love: I told you i'd get one eventually! It's a really creepy place. And the wall... i haven't the slightest about. I have a feeling some of it was built when it was closed as the main entrance isn't accessible now.

[Ammi]

..it's almost like the wall was built to hide the sadness of it..I know that wouldn't be the reason but that's how it feels...it kind of makes it even more fascinating, the fact that it's hidden away from site and you have to climb up to see it...

..yeah, I imagine it was a bit creepy as well..but I would love to walk around somewhere like that and absorb the feeling..I think I could probably stay there for hours just looking around...I'm really grateful you took the photo Jarrod, I hope you didn't hurt yourself or anything...I might try to get to visit it myself before it disappears forever and I'll post the pics if I do....

It's easy to see it from the road where i took it. (Basically i stood opposite and on the garage car-park). I was fine :) If i get to go own again any time soon i'll make sure to get some more.
