Seen better days, but the critters must love it. I like that signage.

Look at those vines along the front. I think mother nature is reclaiming this little plot of ground.

B&W was the best choice for this shot. These boxy brick building are so common in my area but this one has such personality between the sign and the damaged roof and boarded up appearance.

I feel like there are several rodents inside this place with maybe an owl or two nesting:)

Those weeds grew very fast, and took over quickly too. Fantastic photo!

Man, it's got growth coming out of every possible place. Well, except for the vent duct in the center. Too bad it was left to the elements. Looks like it was once a nice store.

Looks so much like abandoned buildings here. Another nice shot!

I love those old buildings. Especially when there is signage still visible.
