Probably the coolest photo thread I have seen here in my 5 years at SSP. The "soundtrack" made it all the better.

There were several bulbs lit, but that's only because the church that owns the building has to keep the power on. They go in every day to pump water into the sprinkler system in case of a fire, and that's how I and my friend (who was pictured taking a picture of me) got in. The caretaker told us that aside from that and some storage, they leave the building to fall as it may. They have problems now and then with the homeless getting in -- which would not be a problem except that they start fires -- and with people breaking in to have sex. That latter included a large group of men, and I can rather see the appeal -- nothing gets me randy quite like the smell of mildew and the knowledge that I'm breathing in millions of black mold spores with every inhalation.
And is it Monrovia Mall or Monroeville Mall? I want to be accurate when telling how far away I am from the zombie apocalypse. I've been doing that all year -- putting down how far away I am from something or other. In January, it was Times Square in New York. In February it was the site of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago. This month... zombies.
