This was from my very first urbex adventure. This is the Florence Little Theatre. I've been here a few times. These photos are from my second visit because I didn't have a camera the first visit. The first time I was here, there was someone else sneaking around. I announced myself and heard the person run off. I believe they were scrappers hauling stuff off to be sold, because when I came back for these pictures, a lot of stuff was gone that was there before. For instance, the office had a nice desk in it and the backstage area had a vending machine. Outside, there was a large tractor trailer minus the cab that was full of props and other things. It was gone the second time. Anyway, this place has some interesting history which can be found
here. The place has since been boarded completely up.
