\n\nI have a lot of memories of this place. I must have seen lots of postcards that I don’t have now. It’s all very familiar. The postcard sort of says it’s “restored,” but maybe it was just made to look old.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today it’s in rough shape. It’s been abandoned for a while and is on a prime piece of real estate that will likely mean it will be gone any day now.

\n\nThis sign is very familiar in my mind. At the bottom right is a rotting piece of farm equipment.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nPeeking through the windows revealed an eerie site. The tables were set and everything was just like they were opening tomorrow and tomorrow got cancelled.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
