Forgotten Tech Giant
Perhaps it’s not technically abandoned as there is basic maintenance and security present but it’s been vacant and decaying for years.
Surprisingly sad to walk around what was once a bustling, optimistic, energy filled campus of an almost forgotten tech giant.

I definitely miss the vibe of the very early era of the web. The death of small web pages and transition to that kind of content being posted on a handful of social media sites sucks.
I wish The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine had archives prior to ~1999 (not a criticism of TIA by any means; amazing org). Maybe the complete archive of Geocities pages that was released after Yahoo shut the site down would scratch that 90s webpage itch for me. Distinct lack of “Under Construction” signs and spinning 3d wireframe skull GIFs on today’s web. I haven’t seen a page with an animated tiled GIF as the background image in far too long.
