What would you like to order?
One day I was out taking pictures and decided to take pictures of an old restaurant that sits at 7780 South and State street in Midvale, Utah.
While driving around the restaurant what do I discover but that this restaurant was once a Dairy Queen and the menu still sits behind the restaurant despite Dairy Queen not being here for at least 10 years.
The restaurant was a Asian restaurant for several years before it moved down the street and most recently was a cafe.
Once again you never know what you might find if you just go exploring.

Abandoned Retail Store
I took my car down for its regular servicing and of course took my camera along knowing that I would find something to photography along the way.
Across from the dealership formerly known as Butterfield Ford is a former Lowe's store that moved about a mile to the east. The former store sits abandoned right at the off ramp of 9000 South and Interstate 15 making a welcoming sight to people coming into the city of Sandy.
This photo looks into the former garden shop of the store and looks to be taking a heavy hit from not being used. I took this picture to emphasize the weeds growing in the walkways to give it even a more abandoned look. The black and white further gives it a more depressed look.

Into the Weeds...
My last picture was of a former grade crossing signal of the former Union Pacific line from Salt Lake City to Provo owned by the Utah Transit Authority.
Today's picture is from the same line just taken about a mile down the line at a former grade crossing that has been closed and now is an access point for the trail that travels along the former right of way.
I did this photo in Black and White to give a sense of abandonment. I also used a low f-stop to blur the background and make the rails the main focal point.
