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.

Virtueller Ambient Garten

4. März 2024 um 8:43 Uhr von Ronny

Ambient.garden lässt uns im Browser durch einen Park schlendern, in dem es an Bäumen und Sträuchern ambiente Soundscapes „zu pflücken“ gibt. Ich bin mal eben spazieren.

ambient.garden is an experiment that started with the question: can a composition be organized in space rather than time? Can it be experienced in space by the listener? To explore this concept, all the sounds and graphics were entirely generated from open source code. The sounds of ambient.garden were assembled and grown into a music album, A Walk Through the Ambient Garden, also open source.
