Abandoned - Once Upon a Time 1
Raw picture, no edit. I used this picture to make my Spacer for Skrunda-2 Spacer - Once Upon a Time
Picture taken from Skrunda-2 the Tekst under is taken from the information Note-card about the place at arrival. You should all visit this fascinating place, that tells many stories about what once was.
Welcome to Skrunda
-------------------------
The Skrunda sim is loosely based on this real life town. It was licensed by the Latvians to the Russian Federation to host radar installations to cover the “threat” from Western Europe. However it was agreed to dismantle the radar installation in 1998. The Russians removed all their military sensitive and valuable equipment and left behind what you see today, the 60 buildings that comprised the former complex and town, including apartment blocks, a school, barracks and an officers club.
It is now in a state of limbo, half the site is used by the Latvian army as a training site the other half is available as land to be developed by any interested private company.
Presently no bids have been received and the site is closed to the public, leaving the once thriving town in the hands of the animals that live there and the ghosts of the people's past (and 1 or 2 stubborn locals).
We are opening the door to one of Europe's most interesting ghost towns and invite you to wonder around, marvel at the Soviet era architecture, the people that lived there and if the inspiration strikes...take a photograph or 2.

The Build
------------
I enlisted the help of Sofie Janic and Megan Prumier to bring it into fruition. Their talent and hard work and ridiculously large inventories are what have made this sim possible.
