When I was a teenager, my curiosity led me to do urban exploring, so I felt a lot more pulled in by freedomben's story than the one about cordless phones. If there were photos, it'd definitely be blog post worthy. Although that might spoil the visuals my imagination has already created. For example, I remember visiting Pleasure Beach and exploring all the dollhouses in that ghost town which was abandoned when the bridge burned down. I remember feeling so afraid when I discovered that one guy was still living there, just sitting back and forth in his rocking chair. I also think Bridgeport, having so long been a beacon of American values, teaches us what we can expect from America in the future once more critical infrastructure breaks down.
