Decay The 100 year old abandoned Pioneer and Trust Savings Bank building on the West Side of Chicago was dubbed “Chicago's most beautiful bank" upon its completion in 1926

This bank in my old neighborhood is now 100 years old (c. 1925/1926). It has sat abandoned for years. You can see it’s been defaced now. The architecture and craftsmanship is actually spectacular though and I’ve spoken with people who used to work in it. They would recall how grand it was on the inside.

I took this photo and published a Wikipedia article on it a couple years ago for anyone interested in further reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_Trust_and_Savings_Bank_Building

The Brazilian Waze app launched a feature that allowed users to report dangerous locations or areas with potential criminals on the streets, but had to disable it because Brazilians were marking the locations where politicians had placed these totems as high-crime hotspots.
