Awesome and beautiful apartment abandoned for 70s discovered almost untouched

This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

It is an apartment in Paris that was abandoned before the second world war and never revisted. It was owned, and in the legal possession of Huguette Clark, a stupendously wealthy recluse and an heiress of William A. Clark, a guy who seemingly invented every trope of the Gilded Age government-corrupting hypercapitalist. Their stories are quite interesting in their own rights.

My wife is getting me into urban exploration and she's been splooshing about it for an hour, but deservedly so. It's almost pornographic.
Another article about the owner. The backstory is even more interesting than the apartment itself.

Shit.

Shit.

There,s an old artists shop in Gosport which has been left as it was when the owner died 40 years ago. It still has paintings in the windows and everything.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

that is AWesome!
I wonder how much the Mickey mouse fetched? and the ostrich
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Apparently there are a load of mansions on London's "Millionaire's Row" which were bought and then never lived in.

This is one of those random things that catches your attention, more or less by accident, and it develops into an obsession so fierce that it drives you to extremes, such as buying the e-book on Amazon about the Clark family and the empty, ridiculously money houses that were kept unoccupied by a woman about whom almost nobody knows anything. The woman had a team of attorneys basically handling her estate for 25+ years, and none of them ever met their employer face to face or even had much knowledge of her existence. Very fascinating story indeed.
