Holy crap! What an absolutely STUNNING set!

I have to agree with Radical_Ed. I bet that place was something back in the day. Any chance you have some images of it when it was still kickin?

Damn. Cool spot and beautiful shots.




I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.

Killer set!! Looks like it was quite the fancy place once upon a time. I to would like to see some pictures of it from when it was still in use. The glass roof in #6 is spectacular!

oh my god i am loving this so hard!

haha... you found a shoe

it is not evocative of the shining, (it is not creepy like that), but for whatever reason, when i saw the first pic, the music that is playing in the ballscene started playing in my mind. (https://youtu.be/AmcnnRv58Z4).

that glass ceiling is so stupendously opulent.

and be still my heart with that vintage photo.

girl, you find good things.

What an amazing place! "They" don't leave anything like this standing where I'm from. At least, not for this long. Thanks for including that old photo from 1942, as it really capped off the set. I can't get over the cinder block arrangement in #13. What the heck?!?

When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store.
