My name is Ray and I'm an explorer/vlogger from New Jersey. I look for interesting and unusual places, abandoned buildings, dead malls, roadside attractions, etc. I'm a lover of all things retro and weird.

It has a lot of vacancies but it still gets really busy on the weekends. I expect it to stay open into the future. However it is a great old school mall that's worth seeing

I've been hitting thrift stores to find old digital cameras and I finally found a usable one. It's from 2006 and I can't wait to take some grainy liminal photos with it. Stay tuned!

What keeps my on IG is the social interaction. It's so tough to meet friends with similar interests nowadays and IG is great for it

Exactly. Bluesky is great but I'm just not sure what to post lol.

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

I'm very frustrated with the state of social media. I hate to stay on Instagram because it's run by that fascist dork Zuckerberg. But I can't walk away from the community on there because I love them too much. I'm not on Tik Tok but to see people lose their content and communities is a crime

I read it like it's pronounced "Bluski" in my head. Anyone else do that?

People love the retro aesthetics of dead malls, and lately I've been searching for old office buildings that have the same vibe. Here's one that I found recently.

You want hear a crazy story? Look into the people who smuggled Crumbl cookies into Australia so they could hold a Crumbl pop up event

I'm sorry you have to deal with that and I wouldn't blame you for making that choice. But I just want to say thank you for putting me on to so much great music. Really appreciate it!

It's getting harder and harder to find stores that still sell physical media. Video Bonanza at the Quakertown Farmer's Market is a real gem. Fantastic selection and hits the vibe perfectly.

My 2024 concert recap. I managed to see around 50 different artists this year. I stopped going to concerts for a while and this was the year I jumped back in. What concerts are you folks looking forward to in 2025?

I'm thinking about buying a record player and starting a vinyl collection. Can anyone talk me out of this?
