Casino
I pretty much love this video more than I can say. Not because ruin and neglect are things to take delight in, but because the deep quiet of the soundtrack leaves room for the viewer. Plants green the concrete; winds blow through broken lanterns, and skateboards slam the tile where iceskaters once stood on line, waiting to pay the entry fee.

I too love these traces of the past in once busy places where the echoes of the now dead still haunt us.
Thanks, Elisabeth. Though you wouldn't know it from my photo, many people pass through this structure again, especially on a summer day. The whole wing on the beach side was torn down a few years back, but the covered section over the boardwalk remains, and Asbury Park is thriving again, though thriving in a different way than it was before its long period of decline.
Interesting notes about "The Casino". I know "Asbury Park" was next to "The Casino" and that was still open as well.
