Ein altes Hotel, das nie ein Hotel war

5. März 2024 um 8:13 Uhr von Ronny

Cushing Hotel, Maydelle, Texas.

It was constructed around the turn of the century and originally functioned as a bank. In the 1940s it was purchased by new owners, who made the top floor their private residence and converted the bottom floor into a grocery store, Glidden Grocery and Market. In 1981, the building was used as a set in the TV movie “The Long Summer of George Adams“, starring James Garner and Joan Hackett. In the film, the bank-turned-grocery-store functions as a hotel in the town of Cushing, Oklahoma. The film was based on a book by Weldon Hill.

Eine 1994 aufgegebene McDonald’s Filiale in Alaska

4. März 2024 um 9:13 Uhr von Ronny

Der Urbexer Chris Luckhardt hat in Alaska auf Adak Island eine alte Militärbasis besucht und dort eine 1994 verlassene McDonald’s Filiale vorgefunden, in der die Zeit stehengeblieben zu sein scheint. Inklusive der damaligen Preise für Burger und co.

I flew to Adak Island – a remote Alaskan island in the north Pacific Ocean – to explore its abandoned US military base. Surprisingly, the base included a McDonald’s that opened in July 1986. But the restaurant was closed in 1994 as the Navy gradually decommissioned the base. Its original menu sign and other aspects of the building remain frozen in time.

More than 6000 people lived on the base at its peak in the 1980s. However, the base closed in March 1997, and most buildings were abandoned. Now, Adak Island has only 33 permanent residents.

Nowhere Else, a love letter to skateboarding in Austin

3. März 2024 um 10:25 Uhr von Ronny

Oh, wie schön die Rollen rattern.

Nowhere Else is a short, visual love letter to skateboarding, filmed in Austin, Texas. We made this out of passion for what we do and tried to capture the feeling of what it’s like to skate by yourself through a city you love. It’s not necessarily about how gnarly the tricks are, but where you do them and how it makes you feel. Pushing through busy streets or desolate alleys, or ending up behind grungy grocery stores. It’s the experience that every skateboarder knows and holds dear to their heart.
