I Haven’t “Abandoned” You!

I’ve just been super busy of late. My youngest son is graduating from high school and there’s so much to do with party planning and memory book making, I haven’t had time to pull together posts with more of my favorite abandoned imagery, but I’ll be back! In the mean time, here are some links to explore or hop over to this shared Pinterest board full of abandoned and ghostie places and images. You won’t be disappointed!

A wonderful friend shared this pic with me on facebook knowing I would lo...

The Restoration of Mike Tyson’s Abandoned Mansion

Lis'Anne Harris:

Very cool, more recent pics of the abandoned Mike Tyson property. The place is about to be restored into a church! I’m looking forward to seeing the “after” pictures.

My journeys have taken me to some strange places, ranging from the creepiness of an abandoned lunatic asylum, to the quiet, vast emptiness of a forgotten chapel, but nothing quite like the abandoned home of a former professional boxer. After being arrested here in 2013...

Happy Anniversary!

Six years ago today, I wrote my very first blog post. Those sentiments are still true today, but they’re not so important anymore. This site has morphed into something I never expected and so have I.


Happy Anniversay! | Lis'Anne HarrisAlthough I still love writing and reading, I don’t do so much of either these days. I’m a creature of phases and go through them with regularity. I’m sure my need to weave tales of love and adventure will return with a vengeance in the future, but for now I’m having too much fun with Culinary Craf...

Sadly, Utterly Abandoned Modes of Transport

I can’t help but think of the people who once grabbed the wheel and tooled down the road, sailed across vast waters, hopped a bus, or took to the rail. To work, to school, to the grocery, to Christmas dinner with the family. I wonder where my first car, an old green Dodge Polara with a dirty white vinyl top, is now. It was huge and ugly, but it got me where I needed to go for several years. It had a serious issue with overheating that no mechanic could ever solve. The only recourse was to dri...

Untouched Paris Apartment Discovered after 70 years – Includes Painting worth $3.4M

This is way too cool not to share here. I can’t even imagine how exciting it would be to be the first one to walk through that door after all those years. I’d probably have to take a picture of absolutely every inch of the place and catalogue every single item. I wish there had been images of her bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.
