abandoned

There was a time when people would make the drive to Rockford, Michigan, north of Grand Rapids to have a meal at Rosie's Diner, once featured in a generation of television commercials.

The Alinosi Ice Cream Shoppe in Detroit was once the cat's meow. Now it appears 8 of its 9 lives have been lived. There is hope for the boarded-up, nearly abandoned building as it's for sale.

Kids no longer take a break on road trips at the now abandoned Prehistoric Forest Amusement Park in the resort area of Southern Michigan known as the Irish Hills south of Jackson.

I have lived in the Lansing area for just about 5 years and I often drive around wondering "What used to be here?"
