I grabbed this shot of an abandoned building in Downtown Crossing tonight, with my iPhone, and posted it to our Secret Boston fan page, with the caption
-
‘Abandon bldg in Downtown Crossing. I want it.’
When I got home three hours later, there were 17 comments ranging from:
- nostalgia
- memories of David Lee Roth there in the 90s
- different businesses that occupied the space
- mentions of surrounding businesses
- philosophical waxing of what it could/should/would be like
- interest in buying the building
- offers to partner in creating a creative workspace
- advice on how to go about finding out who owns the building
- more more more ♥
It’s moving, this!
How one photo can create community among strangers,
and inspire solutions and dreams.
