Project 3: Store

We had our hands full with our last project. This store had been owned by an elderly woman. It had both been flooded and had rain come in through the damaged roof. The woman and her son came back to see the store and gave up after they saw the shape it was in because they had no money. The woman now lives in another state in a nursing home. The lower level had been a grocery store, bar, and video arcade and the upper level had been storage and living quarters. Nothing had been touched for almost two years before we cracked it open. This picture was taken on the last day we were there, and the piles in front of the store are everything we removed. We found combs, Christmas decorations, bottles of soda, stuffed animals, bikes, paint cans, arcade games, mayonnaise jars, you name it.
