SAY WHAT?
OK so there’s no one big story of the week, so here is a literal buffet of exploring related stores that you didn’t know existed but desperately need to know about…

OK there is one story: all those people who were beat up and arrested by cops for looting stores in Soho and the Bronx last year? Most of their cases were dropped. YEAH BABY! LOOTERS GUNNA LOOT!

Moving along, by now you’ve heard all about this car that was swallowed by the earth and is now in hell, yes? Seems like a rather quaint ride for SATAN to bother claiming, but our dark lord works in twisted ways I suppose.

The burned out remains of an abandoned mill building in Springfield MA are finally being demolished, five years after the place was torched by some kids who want to see the world burn. They should have just come to NYC and did some looting…

Hey who wouldn’t want to live in a converted church? I stayed in one in Kansas City once and got to see some nude people and art being made and I really really wished I hadn’t quit doing psychedelics ages ago… wow dude.

The man who twice delayed New Zealand train service by walking through it’s longest tunnel has been named in court. I’m not sure what his motives were, but it appears he lives not far from the mouth of the tunnel. He tried to not have his name revealed in the press, but judges are assholes who like to embarrass that man’s kids.

The long abandoned and completely trashed Lindy Boggs Medical Center in New Orleans has new owners that seem bent on fixing the jawn up.

Here’s a few well worn ‘bandos on Vancouver Island for the next time you’re up that way looking to cause trouble.

More Art in Bandos please. This latest batch from Russia is fucking awesome. Reclaim these spaces.

Check out this massive tunnel construction project that is about to go down in Italy. And closer to home, Rhode Island is about to build their own 2 mile long sewer tunnel to prevent waste water from being dumped into the Seekonk river. That’s Seekonk, not SeaHonk—though KP74 might approve.

LOL Look at this ridiculous border wall ‘bando construction! One more sign of Trump’s complete failure.

The massive Central Warehouse in Albany will soon have a new owner. Thus the days of one of Albany’s largest ‘bandos may be drawing to a close.

A pub chain in the UK has been fined 90k pounds for their involvement in creating fatbergs! I suppose it makes sense that some bleedin’ drunken gobshites would be in the pub flushing all sorts of unmentionables eh?

Not wack-a-doodle enough for you? Check out this lovely sinkhole in Israel that formed as the byproduct of shoddy tunnel construction work.

IDK why there’d be any question if this train would fit this tunnel but maybe I’m not a boozy enough bloke to really get it. Y’all do math and measure stuff over there eh? Perhaps they should have tried squeezing this 300 ton fatberg through there instead?

Petersburg VA is going to reuse this abandoned school so if you’ve been wanting to shoot it…

There’s something delightfully insane about India, where a company is blasting a new tunnel, damaging residents homes and not compensating them… as if this whole ass situation doesn’t just sound froth with danger? At least give my people some hard hats!

Making fun of El*n Musk never gets old. Dude needs to launch himself into space forthwith.

‘Bando Building BBQ – Nord DahKoeTa Edition.
Someone is trying to make Fargo (ND) into the new Fresno (CA), setting fires all over the place, including a ‘bando house.

The abandoned Goff’s general store along route 66 burned up last week. Kinda bummed I never got around to checking it out, or that I didn’t just move to SoCal in my youth and enjoyed the 109 degree heat.

And that’s a wrap…
Remember that spring LTV Store Drop I’ve been blathering on and on and on about? Well now that it’s almost summer, it’s happening. Assuming no chaos, I’ll be setting a batch of new merch online by this time next week. I’ve brewed up what I suspect is some real fun stuff, so keep an eye out.

NOTE: It sometimes takes a short while for comments to be approved - unfortunately there's a lot of spam comments that come in. I absolutely love when y'all share personal stories of friends relatives etc who worked in these places. It really helps capture what these places were like before they closed up shop.

If you're feeling salty, argumentative comments completely devoid of facts (supply links to support your argument) will not be published. Got a case to state? come with the details.
