Rubezahl's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

Rubezahl

They're stories everywhere you look: in old buildings, cities, towns, ghost towns, cemeteries, neighborhoods...everywhere. I enjoy digging up the stories of past events and people who may have been forgotten or just not known. In addition to learning about past events and people, I enjoy all types of travel, but especially travel off the beaten path. I'm an advocate for historic and cultural preservation, Main Street and urban redevelopment, and protection of our natural resources.
