People On This Group Are Laughing At These 30 Buildings Attempting To Hide Their Previous Purpose

Actually, Colonel Sanders was from a poor farming family whose mother also worked in a factory. The photo is great though.

I think he owned a gas station. Fried chicken makes sense if you already have a bunch of propane on hand to run the fryer.

Red too. Basically think extra-flavored Mexican.

It's a d**g store. Has a pharmacy and then light shopping, some health related stuff, and over the counter medicine.

I'm guessing it's a giant store for over-the-counter medications, hygiene articles, all that. Like Boots in the UK or dm/Rossmann in Germany

It's a convenience store and pharmacy.

They are pharmacy.

A "d**g store" or chemist as you might say.

They're the biggest pharmacy chain in the US

How do u not know what Walgreens sells?!

Used to go to an alternative cafe. Ground floor was essentially the old bank lobby with tables added. Second floor was the old bank offices, turned into the owners offices, a staff break room, and what amounted to "crash pads" for staff. The basement? Underground parties & small raves with a bank vault.

That escalator looks like a tramp stamp for buildings. Just say'n.

A good place to chill?

Maybe that's for the racey books, that would get too steamy, otherwise

Freezing cool

That's one way to repurpose the pizza oven...

Hey hey hey!! We are not a pizza place anymore.. stop putting cheese and toppings on uncle Joe and just put him in the oven..

Now their is a macabre video in my head of employees trying to use the pizza ovens for cremations. LOL

One hope that they aren't offering extra cheese.

They call it fast food because it speeds you to your grave. Master Chiun

That seems rather morbid. Hope nobody still goes there looking for pizza.

Me, too. Is it weird that I kinda want to go? It's an hour and 40 minutes from where I live--I just checked--which is a little far to go for a grocery store. If it was closer to an hour I'd already be planning my trip.

The secret is out. The ingredient that surprised me the most was ground ginger.

I'm not going to comment on the idea of the usage of buildings like this, because religion is personal to every person, wether they believe or not. but... in my experience, buildings "of religion" are often beautiful and to see them repurposed is a good thing

Not every religious person is a maniac trying to convince people to join their religion! Educate yourself!

that’s a valid opinion, i think as long as a beautiful building like a chapel has a use, it doesn’t matter whether it is a church or a climbing center. but it depends on your personal beliefs.

Probably busier now

No, I completely agree. That may be biased, I'm a rock-climber, but I do like this better.

Don't be sorry, it is a much better use of space!

Not every religious person is a maniac trying to convince everyone around them to join their religion! Educate yourself!

Agreed. And I bet they get more visitors with this concept.

I am totally with you 👍

And you felt the overwhelming urge to run your punk mouth. I'll be seeing you, little girl Paul.... you won't like it, but we'll be seeing each other, boy...

The perfect example of the type of "I'm just being honest, but" comment that has spawned 100,000 angry posts on BP, but because it's anti-religion it gets up-voted instead.
