Last Post Of 07


2007 has been a blast for Abandoned Dreams, but since the website was ADE07 I figured I had to make some changes. There's going to be a new website for 2008. I'm not very clever or crafty, so join us at http://www.ade08.blogspot.com/


Thanks to everyone who has wasted their time checking out the website over the year and all the people who supported us by throwing our banners on your websites/myspace pages. You guys all kick ass in my book. I had no idea so many people would give a fuck. I've met alot of great people this year through this website and can only hope next year will be as good to Abandoned Dreams. This site will remain up for anyone who cares to scan through the archives to see where we've been, but everything we explore after 1/01/08 will be updated to the new site. We hope to see some of you there. Because, if we don't see you there:

Thanks for everything everyone. Blah blah blah, Keep it real.

Leavens In The Snow- 12/18/07

I decided to brave the snow to see my dear old friend the Leavens Awards Company one more time this year. I'm not sure I'll ever get sick of this building. I didn't take too many shots due to the sun reflecting on the snow blowing everything out.

















TapeArt Tunnel- 12/9/07

I got an email awhile back from Turrel with the first photo in this post saying lets check it out. I still don't really know what the deal with this thing is, but I'm sure Turrel will leave me a comment with the link that explains it. I'll post the link when he does. Anyways, this place was pretty sick. We arrived to a rusted shut gate. We quickly found a way around that and spent a while checking out the artwork, the small section of RCP I decided to check out, and the trains that passed by inches over our faces. I took a few videos as well. Check them out at http://youtube.com/PunksVids This will be the place you can find any videos I take from now on. Thanks to Turrel for another rad spot.


























Providence Produce Warehouse- 11/25/07

This is part of Abandoned Dreams exploration of the Providence Produce warehouse. I enjoyed this building so much I am planning on a return trip once my camera is so nicely returned to me by the cops. Again, thanks to Turrel, the newest member of Abandoned Dreams for once again bringing some new locations that didn't suck. I enjoyed it so much, I even took time out of my "busy" schedual to do a little research and heres a few of the better sites I found regaurding this place.
