abandoned 3
A shopping cart... all alone behind Value City, which used to be part of Ocean Township's Seaview Square Mall back when there WAS a Seaview Square Mall. Some years ago (maybe 10, give or take a few), the crime rate for this mall increased significantly, so people stopped going here and went to Monmouth Mall instead. As a result, Seaview Square is now comprised of a few large stores (Value City, Target, and Sears) but not much else. The large stores are no longer connected in a mall format.
Wikipedia tells the story better than I do.
(Gosh this picture is old.)

Nice pic...it speaks of abandonment in a very existential way
What a shame. I remember when Seaview first opened. The Connie shoe store on the upper level was one of my favorite stores.
