Before moving upstairs, let’s take a look at another corner of the small business spaces downstairs. And now that I come to think of it, the downstairs was quite a maze. Another, very small business space with a sliding door. Even a lonely bike has found its way here. Another possible exit, another entrance, whichContinue reading “Business Gone Bad Part II”

Business Gone Bad Part I
It is the first evening of my tour. I’ve checked into my hotel and had dinner with my hosts. Of course I asked for some recommendations about abandoned places in the area. I was already familiar with most of them, but one of them was new for me. But the first one wasn’t, as itContinue reading “Business Gone Bad Part I”
The Sugar Cube
The next location I went to was a planned one. It was a 1938 built functionalistic business and apartment building known as The Sugar Cube in a central location in a medium sized town. There had been an ongoing debate for years whether to preserve it or demolish it. As you know, I’m a bigContinue reading “The Sugar Cube”
A Selection From The Past Part I
Another quiet rural village street somwhere in Finland. And the old village store called Talvikin Valinta (Talvikki’s Selection). This is one of the best known urbex locations in Finland. If you live in the South and have never visited this one, you’re really not an urbexer. Prices of meat and prepared food products. The pricesContinue reading “A Selection From The Past Part I”
Opening Another Season Part III
Moving to the first back room of the building, the one of the children’s store. Looking at things here makes me wonder, if every single door and counter actually is from the very date the place was built. The color of the roof seems to have changed, though. When did they make things like this?Continue reading “Opening Another Season Part III”
Opening Another Season Part II
Our final location of the day was this old building. Back in the days there were similar ones everywhere in Finland. Downstairs there was a business space or two, upstairs there was an apartment or two. I had learned of this place through my dancer friend, who lives nearby. They were wondering, why there wereContinue reading “Opening Another Season Part II”

Moving towards the offices, then. The downstairs was a big open space, but it was almost impossible to move around to photograph it. The floor was flooding. There was a puddle of around 10 cm on the other side of the building. And it still hadn’t rained in days. Stairs leading down to the basement.Continue reading “Dating To Find New Locations Part III”
Dating To Find New Locations Part II
After the adventure in the office block we travelled further East. This time it was a former telecommunications company depot built in 1986 and abandoned at some time in the 2010’s. Its last years were spent hosting small businesses and as a storage facility. There it is in all its might. The part closest toContinue reading “Dating To Find New Locations Part II”
Dating To Find New Locations Part I
I returned home from my trip to my former home town in late August. The summer was over, it was time to return my summer car to my friend and try to live a normal life after another eventful summer. So I decided to go on a date with a girl I had met onContinue reading “Dating To Find New Locations Part I”
From Service To Lamps And Electrics Part II
A close up of the grease pit. Looks like a lot of oil down there. “Let the liqueor do the thinking” is something I rather like. Well, well, who is this Interius guy? What I believe to being the original part of the garage. It rather reminds me of this former dairy plant turned intoContinue reading “From Service To Lamps And Electrics Part II”
