[Suburbia Lost] Taz - Loveland

Right off the highway, a converted Italian fare chain last saw life as local Mediterranean cuisine.

Originally built as a Fazoli's, the building was converted to a locally owned, full service Mediterranean restaurant known for its gyros, falafel and hookah bar. According to "Wine Me, Dine Me" it closed up shop in 2011 when the owners left the building to pursue a food truck that seems to have disappeared too. If Yelp was any indication though, the place was pretty good.

Located right off of the incredibly busy Mason-Montgomery/Fields-Ertel Rd. exit of I-71, the shuttered building looks odd enough in the midst of all the surrounding activity. On top of that though, it's become a graffiti canvas that probably doesn't sit well with nearby suburbs more "affluent" reputations.

Suburbia Lost is an ongoing documentation of decay in the sphere of a perceived paradise. After years of photographing abandoned, forgotten, and often historical locations in the city, this project aims to take a look at how structures fare in the sphere of suburbia.
