Not so Golden anymore...

In Merrillville, Indiana just south of US Highway 30 the Golden Shrimp restaurant sits abandoned and forgotten. Apparently there was not enough people staying at the many nearby motels wanting to eat here to keep this place alive. Ironically it was the second seafood place that I encountered on this day that was closed, the other being in Joliet, Illinois also on US Highway 30. The architecture of the building gives away that this restaurant was once a Dairy Queen.

I've been abandoned...

Originally a Mission style Taco Bell, most recently a place called the Shrimp House sits abandoned on US Highway 30 on the west side of Joliet, Illinois.

It's coming to take me away...

Another one is going...

I took this photo a few months ago and was planning to make a comment about looking for a job with no future. The banner is still up but the SEARS sign will soon be gone as this store is one of the many that were on the latest closure list. Then again if you went into this store you would probably think it was dead already. Sad that this one proud retailer and its sister company KMart will soon join the list of dead retailers. Feel sorry for the people who will be loosing their jobs but when one door closes another will open if effort is made.
