The Kingston Lounge. Abandoned and Historic Buildings

In my never ending search for cool stuff on the internet I inadvertently, but gladly found a fellow blogger who photographs and blogs about abandoned and historic buildings in New York.
The blog is called The Kingston Lounge- Guerrilla preservation and urban archaeology. Brooklyn and beyond.  The link to check it out:  http://kingstonlounge.blogspot.com/

I was on the site the other night and there are some excellent pictures of the abandoned buildings at Creedmore State (Psych Hospital), Hart Island, The abandoned hospital on North Brother Island (think Typhoid Mary), Buffalo State Hospital (abandoned), The Victory Theatre in MA, as well as others.  Pretty cool stuff....like stepping backwards in time and seeing what it looked like when everyone just got up and left.  Some of the sites have collapsing roofs, animal damage and other issues but the pictures tell a story that you wouldn't believe.

I totally recommend checking them out.  For those of y'all on Facebook they have a page there too: http://www.facebook.com/KingstonLounge

Check them out, you will not be disappointed.

Fat Head...the documentary that sheds light on governmental involvement of nutrition and diets

I had the fortune to find this documentary and watch it last night. It's about the government and cover ups dealing with the fast food industry and nutrition in general. EVERYONE should watch it!! It pertains to me because I am in the middle of a diet, trying to lose 40-50 pounds before next summer. Now I have some more knowledge about how to better eat so I can improve my health. And it's not what you think!! Enjoy!!
