    Favorite 10 abandoned spots in 2014

    by Kaylah Stroup December 30, 2014
    Earlier in the week I was going through my posts from 2014 to make up a little list of my favorites from the past twelve months. It was a great year, so naturally I had a lot of favorites. I was trying to keep the list varied but kept finding I wanted to add posts about abandoned places. They just kept adding up so I thought it might be fun to do a little recap of my favorite abandoned spots I visited in 2014. Well, I should reword that, these aren’t necessarily my favorite spots but ones that yielded the prettiest photos and my favorite blog posts.

    Cleveland, Abandoned, Observatory,
    The Observatory.
    Cleveland, Abandoned,
    Apartment complex.
    Rochester Subway.
    Cement Factory.
    Cleveland, Abandoned, rubber ducks
    The Rubber Duck Factory.
    salton sea,
    Bombay Beach.
    Cleveland, Abandoned, church, decay
    Church.
    Cleveland, Abandoned,
    Victoreen Instrument Company.
    amusement park, roller coaster
    Amusement Park.
    Home, Sweet, Abandoned Home.

    There is still so much to see in Cleveland but I’m hoping, in the new year, to make a few trips specifically to see some abandoned places I have my eye on. Here’s to 2015, may it be chock-full of adventures.
    xoxo
