Driven through Slough. Many times...I once had the misfortune to work there. In an office with staff reminiscent of 'The Office', complete with its own version of David Brent.

Through the Slough of despond? I know how that feels.Driven through Slough. Many times...
THEN-The Borscht Belt in the Catskill Mountains was once one of the New York’s premiere holiday destinations. Named after the Eastern European soup, during its heyday the Borscht Belt boasted around 500 hundred hotels. Catering to mostly Jewish holiday makers, the so-called ‘Jewish Alps’ were filled with everything from grand hotels and resorts, to more modest bungalow parks and lakeside camp sites.
The lake has gone ? .. seriously though, the Dirty Dancing lake has gone ..
Two cars found in Edinburgh's 'car park of the future' after being TRAPPED for 15 years
PICTURES have emerged showing vehicles that have been trapped for 15 years inside a disused robotic car park in the centre of Edinburgh. A social network user posted images of two cars that were left behind, unclaimed, after the state-of-the-art facility folded in 2003.

Fiat Uno and an Austin Maestro trapped in Edinburgh's Autosafe SkyPark
It is understood that liquidators – called in after just two years – locked the doors overnight, leaving a handful of motors still inside.
The £5million Autosafe SkyPark was Britain’s “most technologically advanced car park” when it opened but its owners went into receivership in 2003.
Reddit user ieya404 captured a picture of two cars – a Fiat Uno and an Austin Maestro – from a building opposite the site, which is being redeveloped.

I hope there was nothing perishable in the boots of those cars

As Pyeongchang Prepares for the Olympics, a Nearby Ski Resort Sits Abandoned
With less than a week left until the opening ceremonies for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, host officials from Gangwon Province are expressing concern about the long-term maintenance and costs related to the 14 Olympic venues. In part, their concerns are based on a declining interest in skiing among South Koreans since 2012, that has led to the closure of several other facilities nearby. Reuters photographer Kim Hong-Ji visited the derelict Alps Ski Resort in Goseong County, that, after operating for most of the 20th century, shut down in 2006 when too few skiers made the trip into the mountains.
I saw that a while back. Spooky that it still works and has power connected. You'd think that room would be all locked up if it's still being used for some purpose. Tempting fate, because vandals are everywhere.All that's missing here are velociraptors ..
FULLY WORKING server room in abandoned building. (Highlights)
I've watched quite a lot of U.S. based urban explorer videos that have abandoned (and sometimes for many decades) places where the power still works with no one seemingly paying for it .. strip lights, telephone lines etc .. it's weird ..I saw that a while back.

I've just done a fake Dawn Of The Dead review for it .. hopefully it will stay up ..I didn't write this TripAdvisor review but I so could have, word for word. Some godforsaken post apocalyptic shopping mall in Kendal.

The picture doesn't convey the awfulness of this place. I went there a couple of years back, for a craft show that ran for a weekend and took over this creepy mall. Apparently it was still open to the public, kinda, yet we had stalls in what should have been shop units...
It felt like the first series of Walking Dead. Fully expected a zombie herd to walk round a corner any second. One of the creepiest, most surreal places I ever went.
...it puts me in the mood for a post-apocalyptic Corrie with Ken Barlow as the leader of a gang of cannibal mutants
