also, yes it's that slow here at work.
and...storm of the ass hats actually did dump some snow on us. and its dumping more on us in a few hours. wheee! correction, it's snowing now. as we speak (via the interweb).
virginia city (not taken by me)
this place was rad, because it had been left abandoned for so long, parts of the roof were caved in and sections of the floorboards were missing, exposing dirt, or a large hole in the kitchen. looked like it caught on fire (or something) several decades ago. the wallpaper was this amazing old fabric-i took a section of it.
the house is totally weird and there was snow inside as well(there's virtually no roof). no front door, only chicken wire. not sure how the porch is even still standing.
american flats, an old silver and gold refinery, outside of virginia city.this place is crazy, and i love it. also owned by blm (federal bureau of land management) and they will fine your ass if you get caught out there. so of course it's a good idea to post photos of it online. yes, i am that stupid.
there are several of shells of huge buildings, with only exposed concrete and rebar left. one of the buildings has a whole floor that's under water (with fish living in it! and the water's bright green! with cyanide in it! and swamp things! maybe! who knows!) there's a bunch of old school tags on everything too.
totally dangerous, and trespassing, but fucking amazing.
oh, and yes, everyone in reno still talks like it's the 1980s-early 90s (see use of "rad" and "totally") . we also happen to have a large population of juggalos that come out during the summer and hijack a park next to the river....god i love this town.
