Abandoned Northwest Florida: Exploring Forgotten Places in America Through Time | History Books & Travel Guides for Urban Explorers

Having lived in Northwest Florida for most of my life, I'm surprised I didn't know more of the places in this book! I've never heard of the Dozier School for Boys or the pet cemetery church.Most of this book is one-off, haunting photos of abandoned buildings, structures, and vehicles (including some cool military plane crashes). But where it really shines is the couple of deep-dives: the above mentioned school and cemetery, as well as a lengthy section on the old Big Bend Jai Alai. Never did I think I'd see the inside of that place, nor could I have imagined how interesting it would be!For those who are into abandoned places in general, this collection of photos offers up the forgotten and overgrown in a unique setting. The Florida landscape is quick to retake anything left alone too long, making structures even recently abandoned into seriously dystopian settings.
