Abandoned Buildings

As you may have already notice, the focus of this blog has rapidly shifted away from being an opportunity to promote my main site to just a chance to write about any random thing. After Wednesday's trip to Six Flags St. Louis, I heard about Six Flags New Orleans being abandoned in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. That got me really thinking about urban decay and abandoned buildings. It's kind of beautiful and tragic all at the same time. Right near where I live, there's an abandoned mental institution that has a lot of notoriety. I'd like to check it out if they offer any more tours. Here it is on Wikipedia.
