Abandoned Connecticut What is Connecticut known for? Connecticut is known for its beautiful fall foliage, Yale University, and being the home of ESPN. It is often regarded as a state of beauty, but as with every state, it is plagued with decay. The economic crash of 2008 set the ball in motion and cause d many to lose their housing and businesses. The Covid epidemic of 2020 further drove the nail into mom and pop stores seeing a vast number of them get shut down and never recover. If you drive down any major highway with strip malls, you will see the Closed, For Rent signs and empty buildings. Located in southern New England, Connecticut has a mixture of coastal cities and various rural areas populated with small towns. The city of Mystic is known for its seaport museum and its centuries old ships and the Mystic Aquarium On Long Island Sound, the city of New Haven is known as the home of Yale University and its acclaimed Peabody Museum of Natural History. Connecticut was one of the original 13 colonies and played a key role in the development of the nation. Out of all the states, Connecticut is ranked #3 in Healthcare, #6 in education and is 47.5% college educated. Some of the most cited reasons to move to Connecticut are: one of the most scenic states to see in every season, it is the ideal mix of urban and rural, it has beautiful beaches and great food, reportedly has high incomes and good job opportunities and possesses a low crime rate. That is great and all, but we are here for the abandoned! Living on the east coast and having an interest in the abandoned we were always drawn to the larger cities and more well known locations that possess many abandoned properties: Camden, Trenton, Philly, Baltimore, Pittsburg, New York City and the like. Out of all the states on the east coast, Connecticut was one of the last ones that I would expect to have interesting abandoned. When we were looking for locations to road trip to we found a few interesting spots and they were located in Connecticut. As always, when we plan a trip we research all the cities and locate the pins we make sure it is worth it and try to get more bang for our buck. We started in the cities and conducted extensive research for the abandoned, then fanned our way out until we had enough locations to make it worth while.

A stunningly photographed examination of the roadside icons that dot America's landscape. Lost America celebrates the boom-to-bust towns, aircraft bone yards, and filling stations of days past that were sacrificed at the altars of speed and technology and relegated to windswept desert plains and abandoned fields. The eye-catching and memorable photography is complemented with a succinct text history that details the rise and fall of each subject. The result is an impressive tour of an America still standing, yet largely forgotten.

Breaking History books offer a front row seat to history as it broke (like “breaking news”) and give the blow-by-blow of historical discovery—what we learned, when we learned it, who made the discovery, and how. Lost America is an illustrated look at fascinating places in the United States that have existed only in myth and have never been found, those that were abandoned and why, and those that were lost to social upheaval or natural disaster. The book reviews the history behind these places—how they began, how long they endured, why they were lost, and how many have been rediscovered. Included are accounts of the mysterious disappearance of the Anasazi from the Southwest, the abandonment of the Roanoke Colony in 1590, the environmental disaster that caused the population of Centralia, Pennsylvania to evacuate the town in the 1980s, and the nearly-intact ghost town of Bodie, California. The book also includes places that were thought to exist, but did not--or not yet, anyway: legendary Norse settlements, lost cities of gold, and The Fountain of Youth.

Abandoned junk to some, the rusty old steel shells of vehicles are treasures to others, holding memories of a bygone era, or the promise of a pristinely restored, radically customized automobile. Automotive photographer Will Shiers has captured these dreams on film for over ten years, and this volume collects his images between two covers for the first time. Here are the beautiful husks Shiers has found in the United States fields and barns, shops, and salvage yards across States. Divided into five categories—General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Independents, and Special Vehicles—these wrecks and relics from 1910 to the 1970s come equipped with all the relevant information: history, model, location. The most comprehensive and beautifully photographed collection of abandoned cars ever published, this volume preserves for all time the exquisite skeletons of American automotive might.

Published by the Kentucky Historical Society and distributed by the University Press of Kentucky We have all spied them as we blast down I-75 scanning the roadside for anything of interest or rolled past one while trying to find an elusive gas station in an unfamiliar small town. Perhaps we have even stopped to read one outside the local courthouse. Since 1949, the Kentucky Historical Highway Marker program has erected more than 1,800 markers that highlight the rich diversity of the state's local and regional history as well as topics of statewide, and sometimes national, importance. They provide on-the-spot Kentucky history lessons, depicting subjects as diverse as a seven-year-old boy who served as a drummer in the Revolutionary War to a centuries-old sassafras tree. Roadside History is a key to the markers, enabling travelers to read Kentucky history without stopping to see each marker as they pass. There are two indexes arranged by subject and county.

Abandoned structures are places that open the imagination, invite interpretation, and tell stories of bygone eras. This book features photography from the author's journeys throughout the blight of the Appalachian Foothills, featuring autumnal colors and remnants of the once thriving coal mining regions. The unique distress, dark history, and objects left behind in the photos display an up-close and personal vantage point not accessible to passerby. Readers will enjoy stunning photos that display a look into Eastern Kentucky's rich heritage. Through the twists, turns, hills, and valleys, a world unknown to outsiders is thoughtfully explored and documented. Abandoned farmhouses, storefronts and industrial buildings, old-time schools, a country church, a historic mansion of a town founder, coal mining equipment, roadside cars, and more, all collectively make Abandoned Eastern Kentucky a must read for photography and history enthusiasts. Enjoy the beautiful contrast between Americana and a chilling past.

Abandoned Route 66: Under a Western Moon is an unforgettable nocturnal journey on the most famous roadway in the United States, focusing on the Southwest. One of the earliest cross-country highways, Route 66 beckoned many in the United States to migrate west. As businesses and communities grew along the road, it became a beacon of liberation, opportunity, and eventually, loss. With the building of the faster Interstate Highway System, motorists bypassed Route 66. Prosperity evaporated, with many leaving their homes, markets, diners, gas stations, and kitschy roadside attractions to the elements. Wander with the author along the "Main Street of America" as he illuminates these forgotten locales with light, creating haunting dreamlike exposures of several minutes or more. If you are a fan of creative photography or the Mother Road, or have an insatiable curiosity for travel, Abandoned Route 66: Under a Western Moon invites you to climb in back, sit tight, and take hold for a surrealistic night escape with the top down.
