Church + Cemetery
I guess the interest and/or money ran out after the sign but before the church. (There was a cemetery, though, way over to the right.)

Most of an angel
Poor angel: she’s missing some critical components. At first, I thought maybe she’d fallen over, but I’ve drifted to another idea now, and think she’s probably the victim of cemetery vandalism. But either way, she’s still doing her assigned task, watching over the grave of Tommie Allen, who died in 1911, just five days shy of his ninth birthday.

Jobs (dead K-Mart)
So, if you go to the website shown on the phone, it takes you to Sears Holdings. And right there it says, “Our future looks brighter than ever.”
The dead K Mart indicates otherwise, but whatever.

Also: the date on the phone says July 24. I was there on August 7, if that tells you anything.
Light (dead K-Mart)
In the back room of the dead K Mart, with a distant light chasing away the darkness.

STOP (dead K-Mart)
That sign! It instructs employees to state their name, department number, and nature of their business before the door will be opened.
It’s hard to imagine having to be the person who worked in that room, completely blocked in all day long. That would drive me crazy. Or – let’s just be honest here – crazier.
