Human Waste

Spaces no longer occupied by the humans that built them have always interested me, for two reasons.  And one of them is not the wonderment of what happened there.  I wonder what a later civilization would think of our choices.  But mainly it reminds me that we are wasteful fools for allowing these places to die.  Not everything ages with grace, but with a little imagination these building can be saved.  And I don't mean turning an abandoned Sears into a daycare center.  I rather gas the place and have it go out in a bang before turning it into low rent housing.
