5 years, and the building will either be torn down, or collapsed.

If you mean that little white blob under the middle window (unboarded) sitting on the pile of bricks, I'm thinking it looks more like a light up snowman with a stick to roast marshmallows (with a red scarf around his neck and red buttons). But then I am a clinical psychologist, so I get paid to look for odd things like that. ;-)

I have noticed that this building has very unusual architecture, almost as if you are trapped in some sort of bizzare funhouse with all of the twisting, narrow corridors and sickening colors. The horror it must have been to have lived here.

I can't tell because I am not there, but did that brick crumble because of vandals or because of rot? If its by the hands of vandals then this place could be left standing for a few more years, provided the vandals don't have at it...

Nah, the brick parts of the building are so old and deteriorated that they have just started to crumble by themselves.

Wrong, dear Motts. It crumbled from me beating my head against it so many times. :-(

The damage is caused by water seeping into the masonry , freezing and thawing over time just tears the brickwork apart.

It looks like it is the reflection of the sunlight coming in from the hole in the wall opposite it...

terry d, thanks for a much-needed laugh!
The funny thing is, it does look like a bladder ready to burst, kind of like me in the morning after my Starbucks kicks in!
I pity the poor person this particular "bladder" bursts on,lol.

Strangely enough, in this sprawling mess of urban decay, the Anarchy symbol seems to fit.

No; I suppose I don't pay too much attention to most graffiti.
