Old Glidden Paint Factory

Posted by kc on Aug 12th, 2007

This paint factory in NW Atlanta operated from the 1960s until the late 1980s. It has since been deemed an EPA superfund site, no doubt for all the fun stuff they dumped into the soil.

Recently it has been discovered by local taggers. A fitting fate for a paint factory, it would seem.

Viva Las Vegas

Posted by kc on Aug 9th, 2007

It’s August again, and that means I’m off to Las Vegas for BlackHat 2007 / DefCon 15!

This year’s conference was great- lots of informative talks, a fair share of hijinx, and a fun time all around hanging out with friends – new and old.

I took a few pictures from my rooms at the Imperial Palace (which had a balcony) and the Riviera tower. I didn’t take any pictures of the conferences themselves – 1) I was too busy attending and 2) plenty of others were doing that.

The last few photos are of the soon-to-be imploded Frontier Hotel & Casino. The Frontier is a-buzz with construction and pre-demolition crews removing things and preparing the property for it’s imminent demise. My attempt to smooth-talk my way in to take pictures was ill-timed, and I was turned away unceremoniously. Ah well.
