I dont know how many will remember the old search engine Excite during the dot com boom, but this was their headquarters building. The building has been vacant ever since Excite went under.

It is abandoned and empty and still the lights are on? (Photos 2 and 3)
As one who has recently discovered her "passion" for building structures, clear lines and architectural photos, I must say I appreciate each an every of these here. I really like the very close close-ups of 3, 5 and 7, which give a bit of an abstract feeling to the photos, highlighting only the patterns and lines, but also like the context given in Photo 8. Helps to understand the others.

Ray, I am not even giving you a full picture of this place. You are only seeing two out of a four building complex. I don't know why they needed so much space maybe that's why they when belly up!
