The Long Lines - Part 1
In an article by 99% Invisible’s Kurt Kohlstedt, the author refers to ‘Long Lines’ towers as “Vintage Skynet.” While I very much appreciate the ‘Terminator’ reference, the towers’ purpose was (probably) less sinister, even with their military and technological implications.
March - May 2019
Photographs made between the end of March 2019 and the beginning of May 2019 that didn't have a place in a larger story or post.
Arrow Collecting II
Once again inspired by the fine folks at The Pittsburgh Orbit, and following up on a Nov. 2017 post, I've still been "arrow (and manicule) collecting." This time, though, the symbols were found in places all across the country—and outside of it—not just exclusively in Cincinnati.
The Wilmington & Sunset Drive-In Theaters
I came across two more abandoned drive-in theaters while recently on the road throughout Ohio. I’ve been doing a lot of research on roadside architecture, sights, and environs throughout the Midwest lately. Not surprisingly, the Buckeye State’s landscape is dotted with several abandoned drive-ins

Pennsylvania Railroad Ruins
With land cleared for new development, some railroad ruins emerge.

[Suburbia Lost] By Night
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.
"They" Are Alive In The World
And “they” are “we,” as in: “wearealiveintheworld,” the street artists who's instagram bio states “we are no one you are everyone.”
The Hocking Drive-In Theatre & The Logan Roundhouse/Stewart's Folly
Photographs dug up from a few years ago: an abandoned drive-in and a peculiar, round house.
January - March 2019
Photographs made between the end of January 2019 and the end of March 2019 that didn't have a place in a larger story or post.
The Quest For McDonald's Pizza
Have you ever seen “Crossroads” with Britney Spears (and Dan Aykroyd, apparently)?
The World's Largest Rubik's Cube, The City of The Sunsphere, and Colonel Sanders
Some days you win, some days you lose, and some days you eat Wendy's twice.
The Arena
I was wrapping up photographs of the Showboat Majestic nearby, trying to get a clear shot of the boat from above. As I finished the day's assignment, I found myself walking around where the arena's plaza meets the bridge, making photographs of the ‘venue formerly known as the Riverfront Coliseum.’
The Showboat Majestic
Tom Reynolds had spent his entire life on the river. It ended there too.
This is What a Blockbuster Looked Like...
…for the most part.
These stores weren’t always filled with banners displaying slogans like “everything must go” and “entire store on sale.” In fact, the idea of a Blockbuster Video location closing was probably once thought to be preposterous.
Fantasy Diner and Ice Cream Parlor
Twenty minutes down the road (and ten minutes late), I pulled up to what was once known as Fantasy Farm Amusement Park, while the few remains of another park—Americana/LeSourdsville Lake—stood in the distance.
