Traveling to other cities is usually an eye opener. Here in NYC, there's little left abandoned for too long, and almost one of it is actually inside of Manhattan (downtown). Vancouver, however, presented this odd animal: An abandoned hotel surrounded by high rises.

This place doesn't have long for this world, of course, but I found it to be most charming. An abandoned building with all it's doors wide open for anyone to wander into. Given the relative 'red light district' feel for one of the nearby streets, i thought I might encounter some shady people in here. That was not the case though...

You have to love an abandonment where you can park your car right in the parking lot and go to town...
