[ coming soon ]
Being a fan of brutalist buildings, I had to investigate this abandoned telecommunications office and data center complex. It's barely a five minute drive from my home, and I've driven past it nearly every day for years, but never bothered to drop by to get a few decent photos of it.
The property is both liminal and brutalist, both of which I am a fan of. The empty property sits on the city limits, right next to a natural area called Eagle Marsh - on a sort of "frontier".
The empty parking lots felt like an endless wasteland of asphalt, once accommodating around a thousand vehicles at it's peak.
The more I wandered around, the more my brain became brutalized with the brainstorm that brewed within. I began to get Backrooms vibes, and the introduction of an idea for a story began to rumble around in my mind.
Sometimes, one just needs to get out there for a little inspiration and creative motivation. Brainstorming is brutal.
