Holy Land in disrepair
by digby
I don’t know what this symbolizes, but it must symbolize something:
Abandoned theme parks are always creepy, but there’s something extra, super creepy about Holy Land USA, a decaying biblical-themed park in Connecticut which shuttered 30 years ago and is now being sold for the bargain basement price of $350,000. The park was once a hot-spot in the 1960s and ’70s, but fell into disrepair after the owner passed away in 1986. To complete the horror movie cliche, it was the site of an actual murder in 2010, the Daily Mail reports.
But hey—$350,000 for 9,472 square feet! In addition to a “single family home,” the lucky buyer will inherit crumbling “replicas” of Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and the Garden of Eden, and huge displays of bible verses.
