Stairway in an abandoned button factory.

@allenpg Wow! That is really something to see.

@allenpg the buttons are loose on the stairs? What a great photo.

@allenpg
*Alannis Morissette frantically scribbles in pocket-sized notebook and then nods to herself silently*

@allenpg
Cool, I saved it as screen shot and made it my background!

@allenpg My next band name is Abandoned Button Factory

@allenpg No, I said ‘batten’ down the hatches! BATTEN!

@allenpg The buttons couldn’t get out on time.

@allenpg they have a whole factory for making abandoned buttons?

@allenpg

Oh ME gosh...what a place!

Can ME visit? ME LOVEs Buttons yet has just a small box of them.
ME could enjoy looking at all these GEMS!
😍

@allenpg I think I can diagnose why the factory went bust

@jimmyrayreid @allenpg "Okay Gary, so while the lift is broken you have one job, to carefully carry these boxes full of loose buttons down to shipping on the ground floor. What's that? No I don't think we should wait for the lift to be fixed, I have complete faith in you, steady-hands Gary, that's what we call you. What could go wrong?"

@allenpg It's buttons all the way down! 😛

@allenpg where is it? Asking for a friend... 😉

@allenpg Why would they make abandoned buttons?

@allenpg “One day my boss comes up to me and says, ‘Joe, are you busy’ I say ‘No’ He says-“

@allenpg that’s insane… and reminds me of some abandoned houses I’ve been in over the years 😂

@allenpg oh my gosh what gorgeous treasures! I collect buttons ands I covet these abandoned beauties 😍

@allenpg presumably it was abandoned when the OSHA inspector slipped and fell down 3 flights of stairs.

@allenpg Be careful you don't fall on your butt-ons going down the stairs. 😉 It's a great photo, a dressmaker/knitter's dream!

@allenpg Presumably a factory that makes abandoned buttons.

@allenpg I'd hate to see what an abandoned stairway factory looks like!

@allenpg are they glued down? Or just waiting for a cartoon moment??

@allenpg this stairway is so treacherous I'm saving it for the next time I design a dungeon for a TTRPG.

@allenpg It looks like the last battle in the war of the buttons.

@allenpg
This makes me think of a giant button monster forming itself from the discarded remains and ravaging the town.

Only to be bested with by a small girl with a needle and a lot of felt.

@allenpg There is a grave where my grandmother is buried that is covered in charms for a charm bracelet. The plastic charms that you'd give to a child.

@allenpg Was the factory abandoned or did it specialize in making abandoned buttons? 😉

@allenpg

Clearly, the buttons didn't abandon the stairs..

@allenpg in the middle of their massive exodus the magic buttons were disenchanted by the evil wizard and so were doomed to lie on the stairs for the rest of all time. The End
