Why I'm doing this.

Many people don't realize they drive by crumbling works of art everyday. Abandoned buildings quickly become a constant, something that's not too hard to get used to. The history and story behind some of the buildings are so astounding yet many people still look at them as old, dangerous, and overall nasty places. The goal of this blog is to help people understand how important these buildings truly are. These mangled masterpieces are being torn down every week causing a destruction of not only a beautiful piece of architect but many of these places serve as a home for those who can't afford one. People should care about this just as much as they should care about the destruction of ancient ruins. At the time the Tikal Ruins in Guatemala were built, no one knew they were going to be famous and a part of history forever. How do we know that the house falling apart down the street may not as be just as famous and important in 100 years? Another perspective to take is that each one of these structures is an art project. The way that nature invades them makes for stunning and post-apocalyptic photos. This effect would be impossible otherwise.
