This used to be an old strip mall. Now there are two large derelict buildings with an adjacent convenience/corner store (active) next to Fleamax. I've heard various stories about what these buildings used to be, Fleamax was a Flea Market building that used to be a nightclub; while The Den was either a bar or a strip club (as opposed to the "Nu" Den down the street).

I've not been back to this place since 2010, so I'm not 100% sure what the situation is at this location (it's still there when I've driven past). That was at the time when I wouldn't even dream of looking for a way into an abandoned building. Will stop by again to take another look sometime soon. I remember being stopped by a pack of children that were wondering why I was taking photos of an abandoned building...when I explained myself they said I was creepy.

Edit: Was thinking of heading back for some photos next week (warmer) and checked street view...entire place was demo'd with demo vehicles next to rubble.

It's a bit of a creepy hobby but man it's interesting.
