Toronto

As you may have noticed, i've been having trouble keeping a regular Tuesday schedule.  It's more important to me to deliver high-quality posts than to post regularly, so i've changed the sidebar to reflect the "most Tuesdays" attitude.  Facebook followers will still receive updates each time there's a new post, so hitting that "like" button is a good way to stay informed.

Today's post about Toronto will go live later tonight.
(More about movies next week)

Abandonment Week (Monday)

   It's almost the end of Abandonment Week, so stay tuned for tomorrow's conclusion to the series.  Today's abandoned sites of note are now-defunct United States missile bases, many of which have been sold to the public (ICBMs not included).  Some of the best pictures of these silos are located here, while there are some great conceptual renderings located at this site.  It's a bit confusing to navigate, but be sure to check out the Properties for Sale and Atlas F (remodeled) sections.

Abandonment Week (Sunday)

Abandonment Week (Saturday)

Today's photography link comes from German photographer Alexander Rentsch.  His photography of an abandoned infant clinic in Lichtenberg (Berlin) is more than a little bit terrifying.  You can find it on the Behance network at http://www.behance.net/gallery/Infant-Clinic/704725

Abandonment Week (Thursday)

Today's set of pictures on abandonment comes from megablog Twisted Sifter.  I'm hesitant to link to articles which may not be the original source, but i'm fairly confident this one is legitimate.  On that note, you might notice that i'll never repost an article in its entirety inside this blog -- i know clicking on a link can be a lot of work, but i like to think that preserving intellectual property rights is worth a bit of extra effort.  The picture above was sourced from Wikimedia Commons, however, so i'm completely fine with using it as a teaser.

Abandonment Week (Wednesday)

It's links week, which means new posts EVERY DAY THIS WEEK.  I just made up links week, that's not a real holiday.  Today's link comes from Michigan native James Griffioen, whose "feral houses" project showcases homes in various states of overgrowth.
