Finding the time to add new pages to
Modern Day Ruins can sometimes be a challenge. After all, it's only a fun
hobby. I've received many email messages with site requests - memorable
places people would love to see added. I even have a few in mind.
Recently Yak wrote me and suggested
I create a page listing the many places, and well, here it is. Please
drop me an email if you would like something added to this page, or better yet,
if you would like to be a guest contributor and add a page for yourself.
The formula is easy, and I'd be happy to share. Until then, here is MDR's
wish list. Thanks for reading and supporting the MDR blog.

ReplyDeletegreetings,
ReplyDeleteI have tons of recent pics of Santa's village up in sky forest the hey rookie/ gaffey pool in san pedro and the la-43 nike site at white point
I have tons of pics from santa's village i was just recently up there less then a month ago if you want me to email them to you
ReplyDeleteDid you see the Santa's Village page yet? I could add your photos if you like.
DeleteJoshua and Lindsey - yes that would be awesome and kick start those posts. Of course I'll give you full credit for the photos. The best way to get them to me might be to use DropBox or a large file sender (I think). I suppose you could try simply emailing them. info@moderndayruins.com.
ReplyDeleteThanks again! Brian
How about Freedom Land in the Bronx, N.Y. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vpWcFZ-_LqU
