Trespassing by Quirk of Nature

this is notable not only for the destruction, but for the fact that what used to be in those buildings was none other than the coolest block of stores in town. all locally owned, all interesting: coffee shop, hip used clothing store, homemade italian ice, liberal bumper stickers, etc etc etc. but now, rubble.
note the fence.
so, the next night we went in for the adventure, me and my partner in crime.
and then up to the second floor....
and then the roof....
back to the second floor, and in.
go deeper, and the former apartments turn into a janitorial service office.
we found a fire extinguisher.
the end.
[see photo captions for additional details]
daytime destruction
they're tearing it DOWN! but not the chimney, apparently.
green hat in action
turf! damaged
we're in
turn on the night vision. that blur in the center is an agent trying to climb.
jenga wall
once a wall, now a game. we played at pulling bricks out.
up a level
hopped up onto the second story, still solid here.
up again
shadow dancing on the roof
quirk on top
transparently me.
down and in
we braved the second floor doorways.
abandoned
it was too dark to see this. only the photo lets me know it was there.
going deeper
masked man gives the approval.
the bowels
carl's junior? red bull? it's like they left for lunch. at lease they closed the door.
storefront stairwell
from this side, it's hard to guess the back of the building is rubble.
fire extinguisher
why not?
parting glance
all this is gone now.

That looks like a really cool place to explore!
Gutsy homage to the coolest block that is not there anymore. And the why not? picture got me teary eyed. Beautiful.
