A Photographer Captured Surreal Pictures Of An Abandoned Suburban Neighborhood, And It's Something Straight Out Of "The Walking Dead"
Johnny Joo takes pictures of abandoned places in the Midwest, and we've featured his work on BuzzFeed many, many times.
Some of his most recent pictures he shared on his website Architectural Afterlife of an abandoned suburban neighborhood are equal parts surreal and devastating.
A short distance outside Columbus, Ohio sits this abandoned neighborhood of Woodcliff.
According to Johnny, there are 100 abandoned homes here.
The condos, as they're called, were built in 1953 but have remained mostly vacant since 2019.
According to The Columbus Dispatch, demolition of 53 of the condos is going to begin in the next few months and then redevelopment of the area will take place.
In a lengthy blog post you can read the full story about the neighborhood's history, which Johnny says was abandoned mainly due to a rising crime rates and code violations.
That said, Johnny's pictures serve as a final look into the once thriving place.
