Where You're Madder Than I Am: Part II

I know. A month. Summer is just crazy. I’m putting in a lot of 70 hour work weeks these days. First off: I’m moving my professional wedding work off of this blog, and will be posting it solely on my website

Where You're Madder Than I Am: Part I

Hey. Remember me? I’m Amanda. I used to run this blog regularly before I fell off the face of the planet. I’ve had my plate full the past few months. I’ll spare you the million and one things I’ve had

Ain't Seen the Sunshine Since I Don't Know When

Sometimes a location’s reputation precedes it. This is a perfect example. I had zero intention of visiting this place. But, I ended up here. And maybe it was good for me that I did. We were exploring around the boroughs and their outskirts, coming up on

Sleepy Bats State Hospital: Part II

(Click for Part 1) Hello again. Welcome to the children’s ward. Where the other buildings are falling into ruin from mainly natural causes, this building’s damage is largely people. Taggers, vandals, scrappers, arsonists… It’s in rough shape. I actually hate finding

Last Stand State Hospital: Part III

(Continued from Part I and Part II) The final set from here picks up in a building that seemed to have larger patient rooms, atypical of the whole shoebox-with-barred-windows. Parts of the layout in here confused me a bit. I tried to

(Click for Part II and Part III) Apologies in advance for any blatant typos or spacey wording in this post. I’m on day three of being horribly sick with no sleep. Fun. I also appear to be trying to break a record for the number

Vintage Wallpaper and Black Mold

This set is another house. Kind of a cool place, with lots of interesting colors and accents. A lot of water damage in here had left the floors a bit mushy and the ceiling and walls covered in black mold. I

Empty Restaurants and Boarded Motels

I’ll refrain from talking about any history of this little spot. The backstory gives it away instantly, and the signs of early vandalism here really annoyed me. I happened to be on a day-trip in the area with my best friend and her younger sister (who is
