I went today to our local "ghost town" to get some shots that demonstrate the economy. There are about 20 or more unfinished abandoned homes. A couple of years ago a building company purchased a huge amount of land and decided to build new homes. The homes were sold and money was put down on them before they were finished. The builders went bankrupt and everyone who invested money in these homes lost everything. And to make it even better the township slapped those little pink "no occupancy" signs on the doors...so even if the home owners wanted to move in a finish the houses themselves...they can not. It is a very sad situation.
Wow, how sad, seems like this would be a place a little stimulus money could go along way! Such a waste. Nice shot though and very fitting for the assignment.
