Just sitting there

We all pass by buildings every day that have been empty for ages. Nothing happens and nothing changes, making it easy for them to fade from view. I'm going to try to remember some of them here in San Diego. There aren't many truly abandoned buildings around here, but I can think of a few off the top of my head. I can see one, the old California Theater, during my lunch-time walks in Downtown San Diego. Map

Another classic San Diego skeleton building is Pernicano's in Hillcrest on Sixth between Robinson and University. It has sat empty for close to 20 years.

A third example is the pair called Red Roost and Red Rest, early representatives of the Calfifornia Bungalow architectural style. They have been vacant since 1976
