Sometimes we think about places that we have been to, only to find out that they no longer exist.

Some of the places I worked are gone or in a new office somewhere else.
I was a paperboy and the collection local office I used to bring the money was sold to the college.
I worked at a Burger King that has since been 2 different restaurants since.
I worked a K-Mart that became a Sears Essentials and then back to a K-Mart, but is now empty (it was actually the one the featured in Grown Ups 2!).
I worked out of a security office that has since changed hands, but I haven't followed cause it's out of my way.
And I worked a phone center for a catalog that shut down the office I was working in to downsize, but after I had left.

There used to be a Sea World in Ohio. My family visited and went to the boat show. A boat went out of control, flew out of the pool and landed in the audience, right where I had wanted to sit. That Sea World is closed now.

This AMAZING Ristorante with authentic Naples fare. I worked in Naples, Italy and fell in love with the wine and food in the region. Everything about the place was an experience!! 2008 and they went out of business. It was in my community and my go to for visitors or dates. Still looking for that awesome Merlot…

The house that me and my father and mother built together. I was very little and helped him with the fireplaces and the back porch. Mom helped him with everything before i was born. Until I was 8 we lived in that house as it was being built. It didn't get finished until about a year before we had to leave. We moved states and I never got to go back to it. I looked it up on Zillow and it went for sale a couple of times. They've changed so much of it in the years since I was there. The walls have been repainted, that much I could forgive. But they removed both of the fireplaces. I would sit in the rocking chair during Christmas on my dad's lap as he rocked me to sleep while the fire crackled and popped occasionally. Now all that remains of that is the memory of the house. They also removed the porch for some reason.

Great Stone Face in New Hampshire. Used to love looking for it when driving through the area.
(Also known as the Old Man of the Mountain, a series of cliff ledges in Franconia, NH that looked like the rugged profile of a male face. It was important to the Abenaki and Mohawk peoples before white folks arrived, and was the representation of New Hampshire on license plates and elsewhere. After centuries of love, it fell in 2003.)

My junior high. They tore it down a few years ago. It was a historic building and a lot of people who went to school there took a brick from the rubble. Nothing has been built there yet, so I wonder what it will be someday. I still have dreams about that place. There were good memories and bad. But it was definitely where I became who I am.

I saw Sanibel Island in FL a few months before hurricane Ian and it was such a beautiful place. Now, it’s almost completely destroyed because of the hurricane.

Old Bored Panda. With the new unskippable top video widget, the old Bored Panda doesn't exist. Time to visit new places

Long Beach Pike. In its glory days, it had wooden roller coaster over the water called Cyclone Racer, a beautiful Rainbow Pier and lagoon, and amusement rides like the Hippodrome Carousel. Bert Grimm's tattoo called the Pike home. It was better than Disneyland.
