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”
There’s Something In The Bushes Part II
I’ve tried everything, but simply can’t recognize the car brand from the headlights. I was pretty enthusiastic about cars as a child, and should be able to do this. A wider view of the same room showing a better look of the cupboards. This looks like a second kitchen to me. This would confirm, thatContinue reading “There’s Something In The Bushes Part II”
There’s Something In The Bushes Part I
While travelling from my first interview to the second one, I spotted something in the bushes by a rural road leading from a current municipality to a former one. I stopped by the next bus stop to have a closer look. This part looked like it was a store of some sort. While this partContinue reading “There’s Something In The Bushes Part I”
Hidden In The Woods Part II
One of the few better pieces in the building. One thing I have to wonder, is the amount of rust. I’ve never seen such rusty ovens in abandoned buildings. Different shades of green here. Another, even rustier oven. Strange. Really strange. And actually some furniture. There was really little left here, so this one isContinue reading “Hidden In The Woods Part II”
Hidden In The Woods Part I
When preparing for the tour of 2022, I researched old maps of Finland thoroughly. I looked for specific types of old buildings, and tried to find out, what their status today was. I managed to locate an old municipal home, a place for the elderly, disabled and poor, which existed before social apartment production, mentalContinue reading “Hidden In The Woods Part I”
The Beauty Stands Alone Now
Welcome to yet another earlier featured location. The assignment today is to spot the difference compared to the previous visit. You are absolutely right. The 1960’s wing of the store has been demolished. The cliffhanger I presented at the end of the previous post from here stated, that the municipality wanted to demolish the wholeContinue reading “The Beauty Stands Alone Now”
A Renovator’s Dream Part II
More upstairs apartments. At least something old was left. This has been a former kitchen, it seems. Preparing for the winter. The summer is here. I guess, that they didn’t pay the bill. Another oven. They have been retained in this section of the house for some reason. But still, officers were living here untilContinue reading “A Renovator’s Dream Part II”
A Renovator’s Dream Part I
Here we have a small and old block of flats. The board on the wall says, that it is for sale. It is advertised as a possibility to renovate 8 to 12 flats to it. Originally it was built as a home to officers working at a nearby garrison in 1927. In 1980 it becameContinue reading “A Renovator’s Dream Part I”
Too Old, Too Small
After my visit to the mental asylum, I packed my bags. Back when I was planning on buying my summer car and decided to attempt my Tour de Finland again, I asked my boss, if I could spend less time at the office and more time working from distance, as I wanted to spent asContinue reading “Too Old, Too Small”
