Urban Abandonments

25 November 2007

A few weeks ago, when I was at a peak of renewed interest in strange places like Centralia, Pennsylvania and Prypiat, Ukraine, I came across this page featuring 7 Deserted Wonders of the (Post)Modern World (and the equally interesting part two) but neglected to link to it. I feel they’ve slighted my personal favorite, Desert Shores, California, but it’s still an interesting gallery.

UoP is the personal blog of Minneapolis-based freelance web developer and independent musician Scott Anderson @room34.


Scott is the sole proprietor of
Room 34 Creative Services, and creator of ICS Calendar, No Nonsense, On This Day and other WordPress plugins.

You can find Scott's music — as Room 34 — on YouTube, Bandcamp, and all major streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify. He also plays bass with 32nd Street Jazz, South High Community Band and Lake Country Jazz Collective.
