The New Abandoned

When I visited Mumsie, I was taken aback by these houses.  They hadn't been there a month or so before.  They are like mushrooms, springing up everywhere.  What once was abandoned, is now a swanky neighborhood.  Still--the houses are so close together, one could nearly shake hands with one's neighbor through the windows!

Above you see what it looked like after demolition.

Above you see what the inside of the huge main building that once stood where all these houses have sprouted.  I miss its mystery.  

I call these new homes Mushroom Houses.  You would not believe how quickly these hones go up.  It is just extraordinary. I question whether or not they are built well.  I've seen the construction, and I really wonder about that.  I have a feeling this neighborhood would not do well in a storm. 

Rough Roads in the Abandoned

Here they are building roads, along which houses will be built.  I'm so grateful to see they are leaving the wooded areas surrounding this place alone.

This was intriguing to me.  It appears to be part of a fork lift?

Have a lovely day!

Mystery in The Abandoned

My sister and I walked along the main road to the new entrance of what was once The Abandoned.  Here is a roadside beauty I'd never seen before.  Such a luscious color of yellow.

The air was quiet after a day of dust and noise.  Since it was after hours, the equipment sat at attention along the new entrance and road.

I liked the texture of this machine's steel studded wheels.

Above you see a huge cake of dirt--just left in place for some undetermined purpose.

And the mystery of which I spoke?  Here it is...that green gathering of light near one of the caterpillar machines.  Is it one of the shadow people of The Abandoned? Or is it just a fluke of odd lighting in my camera.  One might wonder.

Have a lovely day!
