The Derelict Sensation

I've been a fan of urban exploration/ industrial archeology before I knew it had fancy names. What is the allure of abandoned buildings and whole ghost towns? I think of the people who lived there, grew up there, planted the trees, fixed the hole in the fence, and so on. I guess it's kind of romantic. I don't seem to assume that the people who lived before ever had a bad life. I just think of nice things, good times even in hard times.
