It’s like walking their Cinderella City in Denver a few months before it was demolished.
The pizza place was an easy 4.8 out of 5. It does not mess around!
Abandoned or South West Oklahoma?

Looks like a mall I’d frequent a lot in Grand Forks, ND in college. It always looked run down, but it had really nice little shops in it. Basically a haven for local small businesses that couldn’t afford their own building.

Yes

What city was this in? I grew up in southwest Oklahoma and a lot of it looked like this

Duncan.

Oh nice, much more southern Oklahoma than southwestern Oklahoma for sure, but I’ve been there a few times

I also grew up in SWOK and I can back up this statement. The whole place is pretty impoverished. Not quite like the southeast, but a lot of small towns that way are really struggling.

First time you Americans have seen an abandoned building or something?
yemmly@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Nice try, American.

I mean, at this point abandoning it is the #1 thing to do in Oklahoma, so…yes?
BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Totally! I drove through a town getting here where every single store in downtown was boarded up and closed. Some were in a mild state of demolishment where it looked like someone decided it wasn’t worth continuing like a decade ago and just left it as rubble.

“A mild state of demolishment” sounds like me most mornings back when I drank 😄
