Exploring an abandoned place often has a level of excitement mixed with the obvious curiosity of discovery. But I had an entirely different feeling when Neek and I explored the Lobster Trap restaurant in Oxnard, California. That’s because of my personal history: when this restaurant is in operation, I ate here many times with my late father, with my siblings, and with Neek. It was a really wonderful old-school sit-down seafood restaurant with attentive waiters, an impressive menu (the lobster thermidor was simply the best!) and an absolutely stunning view of the harbor.

But now the place has been abandoned for over six years. Yet there are still so many things left behind that triggered happy memories for me.
