A family had lived in this home for the past sixty years but finally sold it and moved to Freeport. They left furniture, clothing and many personal belongings inside the house. A citation from the City about the hazardous swimming pool was taped on the front door ( Read more... )

Long time since I've seen a post from you, Vik!

I'd heard about this. Interesting to see actual pictures, though. =|

Hey there! Hope you've been well! :=)

wow. That's has such awesome color. Too bad it makes you go "ew" at the same time thinking about what's in the pool. =x hehe

I love all the curves in the photo especially the bottom one with the wave like white on the fence. <3 <3 <3

Yeah. I really liked the curved patterns on the fence. I also liked the stylized ying/yang symbol in the first image. I wish I'd have the time (and energy) to take more shots that day, but I was about to have a heat stroke!

So that's not just moss...? It really is toxic? Oh, wow.

Have a nice glass of limeade! There's a WHOLE POOL of it for you! ;=)

Erm... no thanks, doc. I think I'll leave the weird, glowing green in the dark abilities to other people.

[but, boy, you sure saw a lot of toxic green puddles in NYC]

Once we had some people in our neighborhood abandon their home, and the end result was something like this too! Anyway, I love the color of the pool - it's such a cool green - perfect for being toxic, lol!

P.S. we haven't talked in a while. How have you been? :)

mandrill October 21 2006, 00:19:33 UTC

I've been busy! How has school been? Is this your last year? :=)

eudialrae October 21 2006, 13:12:20 UTC

Nope - I graduated with two degrees this August. I moved to Miami and I start a job at the State Attorney's Office at the end of this month. Yikes! ^_^

mandrill October 21 2006, 13:53:05 UTC

Woo! That's realy cool! What are you doing for the State Attorney? I remember you were getting a degree in criminal studies, were you not?

I had wondered why I never see you online any more! You must be super busy! :=)

LOL EWWWWW

But I bet the pool would have looked really KEWL at night with pool lights left on! :=)
