This Site is “As Is”

This site is a work in progress. Mainly thousands of posts I have written or curated over 20 years of publishing content online. Some of them were ideas started and not finished. It’s a mess with a lot of broken links, image files, and other related problems.

I’m working on it. But, I may have to live a very long time to ever finish it. If you wandered in here you can read but not copy anything I have written, or images I have created. You may be better to just go back where you came from.

Best wishes,

Laura

Video Games for Urban Exploration

Part of the reason I like video games is to explore them. Whether you pick a game with cars which race through the countryside, or villagers trying to build up a city before the army comes to crush it some video games are made to be explored by people who like art, history and technology. In short, urban explorers.

Where to Write About Urban Exploration

There are some great sites about #urban exploration. Sites which encourage you to share your photos and some of your story and as much of your adventure as you care to type out.

But, if you are a writer and want to have more than a now and then thing… here are some sites where you could have your own byline and publish as often as you like, weekly even.

Sign Collectors

Sign Collectors on Facebook inspired me to write about collecting signs. I don’t collect them myself but I will photograph old signs I see along the way.

I also found a Facebook page about fake signs. How would you know if an old sign was really old or just made to look old and weathered? I wouldn’t even have thought about someone creating fake old signs.
