@AbandonedAmerica Oooh, flooding.... Thanks for the writeup, fascinating.
Hopefully it goes without saying that the offensiveness of graffiti in abandoned buildings is outside of my control.
Yeesh, I misread my own article when I posted the description here. Pepper closed after 37 years. It opened in 1976 and closed in 2013. Way to go, me.
@AbandonedAmerica Oh, I can already hear the reply guys mumbling about Photoshop blurring.
That would ruin the pictures, idiots!
@AbandonedAmerica I'm sorry but "Goomba" is beyond the pale.
@AbandonedAmerica how dare you?! you should've painted over all of it before taking the photo, obviously!!! :P
@AbandonedAmerica Brutalist architecture scares the hell out of me.
