This is Connecticut's state motto.

it's not bird shit, it's toothpaste...

((random it's always sunny in philadelphia reference, there))

i'm with C-Note on this one...

they're not uncommon. and they're not "absolutely disgusting". they're just different and i think the pros outweigh the cons.

i love seeing the progression of the trees in comparison shots such as this.

beautiful...

tommeh - it's rare that i find people's comments amusing...and maybe it's the fact that it's 2:14am and i'm tired as all get out, but your comment certainly made me laugh.

i see a red door and i want to paint it black...

;)

i love this series of photos. however, i don't think there's any deep meaning as to why the children are facing away. whoever painted the mural probably couldn't paint faces very well. i'm HORRIBLE at drawing arms/hands so whenever i draw a person, i usually have their arms behind their back...hahaha

just a thought...

from the looks of the old "new" pictures...this was actually an arcade.

out of all of the pictures on your site...these make me feel the most sad. *sigh*

looks like anthony keidis (sp?) hahahaha...

haha, i moved from massachusetts to oklahoma about 4 years ago...

and i still recognized that grasshopper instantly!

hmmm, i actually like this little dress and i would want to take it home with me.

these was...by far...my favorite series of photos. i'm originally from massachusetts (attempted many times to get into danvers...unsuccessfully) and have always had a great interest in abandoned homes. allowing my mind to wonder about years past...were the families inside happy? where did they go? where are they now? i often think about christmases and birthdays celebrated during better times...

this particular series makes me teary eyed.

i now live in tulsa, oklahoma and have started scoping out different areas and old neighborhoods. old shacks/homes left during the dustbowl...burned foundations of homes and businesses left behind after the huge race riot earlier in the 1900's.

old homes left behind in the once thriving brady district (once the richest area in tulsa...it is now inhabited by the truly destitute)...stairways and cement paths leading to nothing...

man. i ramble.

anyway. amazing site. absolutely.
