Photos: Abandoned theme parks, hospitals, and breweries

Abandoned places send pleasant shivers up and down my spine. Hence the pictures of the ship cemetery and the deserted Detroit public schools that I posted last year.

Now, I want to take this moment to celebrate The Internet. I clicked on a link about abandoned breweries, and The Internet, in its omniscience, led me to abandoned American and foreign theme parks, ghost towns, and finally abandoned hospitals and asylums. Pictures AND histories. I ask for nothing more.

Note: “Open for exploration” should be understood as “be prepared to post bail.”

    Wow that’s fantastic! I’d never appreciated abandoned sites until this post. Just a reminder there is beauty in everything if we see it with open eyes and fresh perspective. I dare say IC runs the best blog around.

    I’m pretty sure my dad took pictures of the same abandoned theme park back in the 70s.
