Titanic Canvas
This is the first post in a series of a couple taken from the old abandoned Titan Tire location near the Des Moines River.? Titan primarily makes off-road, agricultural, and construction tires. ? Like other locations that have been abandoned by Titan, this one has been sitting for years.? Several sources have spoken of a chemical spill that occured here and has deterred prospective buyers.? One source claims that this site is finally changing hands and may find a use in the near future.?
The bottom two feet of all surrounding trees and brush have been cleared.? Apparently this is an attempt to destroy places to hide from the police.? Some of the buildings seemed to have similar features to help police enforce the complex when called upon.
? Very old? equipment for banding cartons and crates the old fashioned way.
The first few buildings we looked at were the most heavily covered in grafitti.
? Epic?? Must be a popular word these days.
? This made my day.? Graffiti of Master Shake and Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Adult Swim.
OMG, it’s OMK!
Every skeleton needs a bow in it’s hair!
Graffiti on graffiti?? “I eat babys.”? What’s your thing?
