The Suburbia Lost series began naturally shifting to the back burner after, well, I moved out of the suburbs and back to the city several years ago. Combined with evolving interests and an overall shift away from urban exploration—it just hasn’t been a personal priority. Still, I do like to add to it when I come across something interesting.

After the fast food giant abandoned two locations in favor of new ones just down the street—locals in Columbus and Cincinnati set up restaurants with much better food options.

Just going to assume that this building was the inspiration for that Rolling Stones song.

Can a corporate restaurant chain harness authentic nostalgia while simultaneously preying on our love for the past? The answer can be found within a “Pizza Hut Classic,” but the real question to ask: is such a place truly “wholesome?”

Some new Suburbia Lost entries that, despite their derelict status, are all aglow in the evening. An office supply store, a ubiquitous fast food restaurant, and a bank.

In Springdale, north of Cincinnati: a Toys "R" Us that was abandoned well before the company faced its current death via bankruptcy, a tire store, and a TGI Friday's.

An abandoned fast food restaurant in suburbia is reborn as an exceptional, local taco joint. Great food and a story of success in repurposing.
