We’ve got a soft spot for abandoned places. When we see an abandoned building or place it normally brings an unexplained unsettling feeling. The idea that the abandoned place used to house people, gives us an eerie feeling about the past, but these places aren’t the slightest bit creepy, they’re more exciting and awesome. These places will give you some perspective on how amazing old abandoned buildings can be. Here are 20 abandoned places that are seriously too awesome.
