One of my favorite things to find on my road trips are old school houses. Many of them are actually on people's property, but I came across this little one a couple weekends ago

Pretty cool in and of itself, but the door was open. So in I went.

There was so much cool stuff in this place, but it was covered in pigeon crap, so I didn't want to stay in there too long. The weird thing was that there wasn't a single pigeon on the main floor. But there were stairs to the basement and I could hear TONS of the birds down there cooing and flying around. I don't know why they were down there instead of upstairs, but I didn't go down to find out. It was a bit creepy.
There was stuff strewn about and other little signs. Names on the chalkboard, and Xmas decorations left.

But the best thing was an old piano tucked away in the corner. Tough to get a good shot because of the lighting (and again my desire to get out of this bird-crap covered place) but did the best I could.
