We don't actually have any old buildings here. The whole town was built after WW2.
That sounds like a living nightmare in itself. When all signs of living history are erased from a city and then radically rebuilt, it always feels like you're moving around in some quarantined experiment, hermetically sealed off from the rest of humanity. For me, at least.
That shit's haunting.
I'm too fancy for punk house living, but a ton of my friends used to live in the oldest industrial building in the US. They're always telling ghost stories, but they're a bunch drunk liars, so take that for what it's worth. It does feel different to walk around in a space that's had a long history of witnessing human drama, that I do know.
