Location Info:

A very strange abandonment, this little abandoned warehouse sits in the middle of an active industrial park. At first glance, it seems to be a suit warehouse, with hundreds of suits and other clothing left behind. Look a bit more though, and it seems to have been a scientific labratory, manufacturing diodes. Leaving how the suits got here to be a mystery.
