Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

It's the North Carolina/South Carolina border.

And it's awesome! Everyone should go. Check out the reptile house, it's legitimately fantastic.

I don't remember reptiles but I have a keychain with a penny from there from when I was a kid.

Judging by the trees lacking leaves, this is at the US-Canada border.

How unconventional.

But seriously, does anyone ever actually go here? Every time we drive by on I-95 it looks like it has been closed.

South of the Border? Yes, it is a bit run down. But it's awesome. Go there. It's 100% authentic Route 66 style kitsch. There's a kick-ass reptile house with crocodiles and huge fucking snakes. 10/10, would go again.
