Urbex AZ

I had a brief trip to Arizona this past weekend. I did this same trip last year and on my way back saw a really intriguing building. From the highway, just outside of Phoenix, you can see this Jetsons looking arena. It really stands out and as I love abandoned places, I had to check it out.

Phoenix Trotting Park

I wasn't able to explore it last year but this time around I had a few hours before my plane was leaving.

This place was built back in 1964. Some say it was built with mob money, I couldn't say but the enterprise ended up costing $10 million. It was abandoned 2 years later.

I love exploring these abandoned places. Perhaps I have an overactive imagination but it always reminds me of a time after civilization falls.

Where did the toilet seat come from?

The wind was blowing hard and the strange sounds added to the excitement.
