I decided to play hooky today and rather than gather all my friends, borrow an old corvette, dance in a parade downtown etc., I decided to hit some sites close to home. The first on my list was an old school in a small town.

As I pulled down the small dirt road that this thing is on, one of the neighbors was pulling out of her driveway. The lady was elderly, taking her sweet time and giving old Pep the stink eye (I'm used to having this effect on women but this was a particularly nasty look). Undeterred, I parked across the street from her house, grabbed my gear and ignoring the literally dozens of "No Trespassing" signs began snapping some pics. (see below).

The place was completely boarded up and given the visible location and the worry that the wicked witch of the dirt road would reappear, I opted to not construct a "creative entry". I found out later that the lady was universally hated in the small town of less than 100 as she is (and this is a direct quote), "...a sour old bitch with nothing to do". Obviously a sound decision on my part to not go inside the school.
