More abandoned buildings

[chantal7]

Those are cool. Say why are there so many abandoned buildings?? If I tried I couldn't find any abandoned buildings. There used to be some in the old zoo here, but they took them down due to too many people going in them and I think they eventually became dangerous. I've even went in them but didn't have a camera at the time... two years later they took the buildings down. I find it interesting now, lol.

Several reasons, really. I have touched on them over several different places and times. For the most part it is business owners uncertanty of cunducting business on reservation land, too many of the same businesses (Gas and cigerettes) and the location of the casino, as it stands most new business (including Wal-Mart) willing to put a business onto rezervation land are looking to place them selves as close as possible to the casino. Location, Location, Location is one of the biggest rules in business, the more people threw the doors the more sales, so naturally business must be right next to the biggest tourist attraction.

In our town, up here in lowly Idaho. The biggest tourist attraction is Walmart. Right next to the freeway.
