A table. Original use unknown. Gardening gloves and stuff. Everything was left as it was when the garden closed. And even a bag of soil. Wonder, if something would still grow out of that. Another table. A calendar from 1998. There were even cold rooms. And a box of flowers to be protected from theContinue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part IV”

Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part III
The third location of our evening adventure was again a trip I had received from Tinder. My former date and current friend told me that there was an old market garden just next to her grandparent’s home. She gave the coordinates, and off we were again. And there it is. Opened in the late 1940’s,Continue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part III”
Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part II
Our second location of the day was familiar to me from an earlier visit to the town. It was a former plywood mill, which I had last visited in 2021. Here it is, and it looks pretty much the same.They’ve completed the new fire station, which is visible in the right corner of the photo.Continue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part II”
Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part I
In the early days of June my bosses sent me to yet another business trip to Eastern Finland. I was to write two articles, one about a company and one about a construction project. I started early in the morning and drove my summer car to the company, interviewed the CEO and continued to theContinue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part I”
When Tiktok Came To Town Part V
I bought what I needed to. Before heading home I decided to drive out to check on a location, which had looked interesting, when I had passed it on my previous adventure with a friend. Interesting? Indeed. Promising? Most definitely. But it never fulfilled its promise. I check these locations around once a year, andContinue reading “When Tiktok Came To Town Part V”
When Tiktok Came To Town Part IV
After exploring the two waterworks’ staff houses, I headed west. I needed to buy something for my car and all the most accessible places to do that were outside Helsinki. On my way to the store I decided to check, whether anything had happened with this old and long since abandoned farm I had discoveredContinue reading “When Tiktok Came To Town Part IV”
When Tiktok Came To Town Part III
My cousin had only told me about the row house. The information I had gotten didn’t include the block of flats next to it. Their location was so strange and their architecture so identical, that it was almost immediately certain, that even these had something to do with the water purification plant. Vandalism was extensive,Continue reading “When Tiktok Came To Town Part III”
When Tiktok Came To Town Part II
The cupboard contained different solutions to treating wood. Apparently the resident had a hobby – or just wanted to keep their terrace in shape. I think the answer is more on the hobby side. A second bathroom. What luxury! The apartments really were large for being staff apartments. The small cloakroom. And so I amContinue reading “When Tiktok Came To Town Part II”
When Tiktok Came To Town Part I
In the early 2020’s Tiktok became popular in Finland. I’m such a boomer, that I have stuck to Instagram and haven’t even become a Snapchat native. Many of my friends, however became active tiktokers. Whenever they encountered urbex-related content in the app, they often started giving me tips. This one came from my cousin, whoContinue reading “When Tiktok Came To Town Part I”
Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part VI
Entering the first apartment. The use of wood reminds me of the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. A room with more gym equipment and a bookshelf. A box of 11 cheese blocks. Although I am an avid cheese lover myself, this seems a bit too much. The bookshelf. A lot of nonfiction, it seems. AnContinue reading “Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part VI”
