Calling all Gothamites

As you may have gathered, I'm an enormous fan of urban decay, which is lucky, as I live amongst it.
If you share this interest, the best pictures I've seen for ages are these (especially the Paris Métro ones) and these heartbreaking shots of Detroit: libraries and schools abandoned without even taking the books and furniture away (and how depressing that nobody's even bothered stealing the books: I would). Let's not forget Gary, Indiana too: Paul Mason's Newsnight report and the associated pictures by David Tribby. My own humble efforts are here, here and here. I'm not on my own computer now so can't post examples, but here's somebody else's from New York:
