Spreepark

Same with politics.

Think of Spreepark in Berlin, state backed in the east, then the wall falls.

Overnight, it's competing with everything across the border.

No safety net.

The explorer Seth Lawless photographed Disney's abandoned River Country and said, "No billion-dollar company should be powerful enough not to clear up their own mess." They only drained those pools after a potential Zika issue made it a public health problem.

I feel the same pull.

The article on Spreepark even says there's romance and decay, but he's right about the reality, stagnant water, hazards, neighborhood blight.

The pictures don't show the mosquitoes.
