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 and several 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.

Wouldn't it be tight if everyone was chill to each other?
