05:49 pm [lafinjack] [Link]	Underneath the colors of the Tent of Tomorrow was the world's largest roadmap. Sponsored by Texaco, this giant facsimile of the Rand McNally map of New York state was composed of large squares of polished Terrazzo. The Map was one of the most popular features of the World's Fair, especially among residents of New York, who"walked the map" looking for their home town. For the 1965 season, many more towns were added to the map at the request of fairgoers who noticed their town missing during the 1964 season. The layout: ( The decline. ) (7 comments \| Leave a comment)

10:47 pm [merylinabarrel] [Link]	St. Luke's Hospital Over the weekend, my friend and I explored the abandoned St. Luke's hospital in Cleveland. The hospital has seven floors, three wings and two basements (but we were too scared to make it down there to the morgue). We did make it up to the clock tower and had a great view of Cleveland, and found an intact theater/auditorium. The building has been destroyed by metal scrappers over the last decade or so, and I think it's going to be torn down completely pretty soon because there's a new medical center next door and a bunch of brand new houses across the street. The whole building is boarded up all around the ground floor, and the upper floors are taken over by mold and have standing water in the hallways. There are a bunch more photos on my Flickr.

11:59 pm [mujetdebois] [Link]	Hidden Philadelphia I took this on the hidden Philadelphia tour. Personally I found the spaces far more interesting than the art. This was taken in Founders Hall on the Girard College Campus Canon EOS 40D Aperture Value: f/5.7 Focal Length: 135 mm ISO: 800 Shutter Speed Value: 1/170 sec cross posted abandonedplaces, canoncameras, philly_photos, photographers (3 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:43 am [blackrayne] [Link]	innards I feel bad, being the maintainer of this community, yet seldom posting these days. This photo of some piano innards was taken a few weeks ago. It's not the best quality, as it was taken on my cell phone (forgot my cameras that day), but I wanted to share it anyway.

10:02 pm [silentwolf59] [Link]	Abandoned Steel Mill - Lebanon PA I am new to this community, and I would love to throw some picture up that I took this past weekend of an abandoned steel mill near a friends house. Since I have never really done this type of photography, I am interested in some comments or critiques on them.
