Going to the ‘bando movies.

God wants you to Loot.
Do you know about kleptotrichy? Well that’s why you’ve subscribed to this newsletter. It’s when our animal friends loot hair and fur off other animals (even humans). “A new study, published last week in the journal Ecology, shows that several species of bird, including chickadees and titmice, don’t just scavenge hair, they steal it.

Looting: 100% Nature, as God (or whoever) intended.

‘Bando News and Messy Views
The old RKO Keith movie theater in NYC has been demolished. This theater was one of a rarified breed of NYC ‘bandos that have existed for decades. It has been trashed since at least the mid 1990s, and if anything, it is amazing that the whole place didn’t collapse in on itself.

I didn’t expect 2021 to feature the re-appearance of the UE KINGZ, but here we are… If you have absolutely no idea what this is about, y’all weren’t around the UE world in 2011 and it shows!

A ghost hunter fell 20 feet in the old Buffalo Central Terminal. I’m just going to go ahead and blame Zuul for this one.

LOL neighbors were worried this abandoned house would collapse and uh YEAH.

Oh god damn it. Cops found that corpse I stashed in this abandoned house in the Bronx that also caught fire in 2016. Listen I know you’re suppose to hide bodies better but sometimes your crime car is dead, and the Lyft driver doesn’t want to get involved no matter what the tip… We all out here doing the best we can.

Want to see Japan’s narrowest tunnel?

The old Joliet prison is going to become a haunted house again this year… SO SPOOKY.

Gotta love places like Nepal, where people will throw together a makeshift ladder in order to use a bridge that is still under construction. Climb or use an under construction bridge around here, and them cops will be so far up your ass they’ll be smacking that lil’ dangly thing that swing in the back of your throat.

That New Tunnel Smell
RUSSIA is building a new rail tunnel (russian) (english notes) along the Ulruchyi – Kovali section of the Trans-Siberian Railway. From the sounds of it, may be abandoning the old one once the job is complete.

El*n Musk is apparently trying to hustle San Antonio into buying some tunnels—which is pretty hilarious really.

Bando BB QUE
A shitty lil’ ole Seattle bando burned up last week, potentially putting an end to what looks like a mighty fine place to paint some walls.

And that’s a wrap…

Comments

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.
