Had some exploration today. [livejournal.com profile] joyeous and I went down to Fall River and explored two very intriguing sites.

Tracks of the Lincoln Park Comet Lincoln Park Comet hill into nothin but brush Lincoln Park Comet turnaround

First we bade farewell to a roller coaster that's soon to give way to a condominium development.

The scene of Abby Borden's murder And I hope he went to heaven, 'cause he wasn't wearing shoes

All the tromping through the underbrush was very tiring, so we looked for a place to take a nap. These two spots were... less than optimal.


More fun behind the linx!

The Lincoln Park Comet! I think that was it's name. I definitely rode it when I was a kid. I can't believe the ruins are still there!

I just love civilisation reclaimed by nature; roller coasters seem so poignant.

Poor roller-coaster. The object empathy is really kicking in.

The roller coaster shots are beautiful and wild and haunting. Even with the graffiti. Maybe because of the graffiti.

Someone in the back of my head won't stop shaking her head and moaning, "Spatch, what a setting!" Fortunately, the two of you seem to get along all right, so I won't tell you to run for the hills.

Jesus H. Christ, someone needs to shoot a movie on the Lincoln Park grounds, stat! The script practically writes itself with that locale. Absolutely gorgeous.
