Pullman Standard

Posted by: Naaman

Pullman was a legendary rail car manufacturer. The Bessemer plant shut down in the mid 1990's.  Various other businesses have sporadically set up shop here in the past twenty years, but it is mostly empty again.  Yes, it is active. Yes, there is security.  Yes, they will detain you.  No, you can't go here.

Previously untouched, least explored, dominated. Pullman.

What's Left of Tuscaloosa

Posted by: Naaman


These pictures are just a small example of the devastation in and around Tuscaloosa, Alabama right now. Total destruction.  Miles long. Miles wide. You see a pile and wonder if it is a house. You stare for a few minutes and still do not know. 

It is most interesting to look in these piles and see people's lives, once private, now exposed in the sunshine, laying on the ground.
