A small town theater established by a local branch of the Lin (林) family in 1956. It only operated until 1971 after which it was effectively abandoned for many decades. Much to everyone’s surprise, it was renovated in 2020 and converted into a convenience store.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
