Each blog entry at AmericanUrbex explores a building that was once important enough to be shown in postcards. All are now boarded up. The locations are shown on Google Maps and some history is explored, with photos of course, and links.

Some thought goes into this project, most of it done by Wisconsin-based Ken Fager.

• Torture: While acknowledging that waterboarding is torture and that torture violates domestic and international law, President Obama and members of Congress have barred any investigation or prosecution of those crimes.

• Pollution: While citizens are subject to pay for the full damage they cause to their neighbors and are routinely fined for their environmental damage for everything from dumping in rivers to leaf burning, Congress capped the liability for massive corporations.

• Privacy: When the telecommunications companies found themselves on the losing end of citizen suits over the violation of privacy laws, Congress (including then-Sen. Obama) and President Bush simply changed the law to legislatively kill the citizen suits and protect the companies.

“Obama’s catchphrase of ‘change’ was so inspirational and exciting that 140 heads of state sent him congratulatory messages upon his election as the President of the United States in 2008.
“The whole world believed that a new change would be underway; a change that had seemed basically unreachable under the ex-President Bush.”
