		<description><![CDATA[Tour the historic San Francisco, California Armory for just $28 for two, now listed on Groupon. Constructed in 1914, the 220,000 square-foot armory hosted the National Guard until 1973 and then remained vacant for three decades. It was purchased in 2007 and then subsequently rehabilitated for adult film sets by Peter Acworth, owner of Kink.com. The tour lasts 90 minutes and includes the armory&#8217;s five floors and includes both historical and risque trivia. The walk includes the preserved shooting range &#8230; <a href="http://www.abandonedonline.net/2012/04/24/tour-the-old-san-francisco-armory/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

The cavernous walkways, featuring brick archways and columns of limestone, encompass more than 20,000 square feet and were part of Tomlinson Hall, a structure along Market Street that burned in 1958.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lee Plaza is one of those iconic abandonments of Detroit, Michigan that stands out as a prime example of what went wrong with the city in the latter half of the 20th century, and is a pillar of potential along West Grand Boulevard. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Lee Plaza is an excellent representation of Art Deco from the 1920s and was at one point, a luxurious apartment complex that offered hotel amenities to its wealthy residents.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many moons ago, I had the opportunity to explore the Lafayette Building in downtown Detroit, Michigan with two friends. It was a blustery, cold Sunday morning and there was not a soul out. No pedestrians and very few cars. In retrospect, I wish I had spent more time at the Lafayette. I only saw the interior once and that was brief - it was more photogenic than I imagined despite years of abuse and alterations.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Driving down Gratiot Avenue in Detroit, Michigan late night in the summer of 2011, I came across the former Eastern Catholic High School. The obviousness of its abandonment, with its blown out windows and the hulking structure contrasting to the vast, empty lots surrounding it, made the four-level school all the more interesting to enter and photograph. But the state of the school was not always so dim. From its closure in 2005 to 2010, the building was minimally maintained, &#8230; <a href="http://www.abandonedonline.net/2012/03/07/eastern-catholic-high-school/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Packard Automotive Plant in Detroit, Michigan has long been on my list of abandonments to visit. Known for its extensive deterioration, brought about by decades of underutilization and neglect, and by scrappers, the Packard encompasses 3.5 million square feet that fills vistas from all directions. But how does one simply cover the Packard? It&#8217;s been gutted, scorched, written about, photographed, spray painted, scrapped, and adored for decades. It is often the sole subject of ruin porn, a newer terminology coined &#8230; <a href="http://www.abandonedonline.net/2012/02/23/the-packard/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, nine schools in Cincinnati, Ohio were auctioned to the highest and most qualified bidder. The McKinley School, along Eastern Avenue in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood, was one of those selected properties, with the auctions being managed by Higgenbotham Auctioneers of Florida. The McKinley School was constructed in 1876 as a three-and-a-half story structure facing Tennyson Street in the Italianate/Jacobethan style, with red brick, vertical accentuation, pilasters, tall 12/12 windows and a gable roof. A two-story addition was constructed &#8230; <a href="http://www.abandonedonline.net/2012/02/20/the-auction-of-the-mckinley-school/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spurred on by an impromptu excursion to photograph a collapsed bridge in western Kentucky, I decided to visit a part of the state that I had not yet fully explored. From Owensboro to Paducah, from the isolated Land Between the Lakes to dense streetscapes, I toured the back roads in hopes of finding something new to write about and to photograph. Then, I came across Cairo, Illinois. What the hell happened here?]]></description>
