There's all kinds of stuff entombed in cities, just waiting to be discovered. First thing this reminded me of was the Original Spanish Kitchen [1], which was a restaurant, also in LA, which closed one day in 1961 and spent the next 44 years frozen in time. The fixtures, utensils, coffee maker, everything intact, waiting for an opening that never came. All sorts of caches created when someone just couldn't do it anymore, or when plans fall apart.

- ilamont 10y agoI lived in Taipei in the 1990s, when they were doing a lot of underground tunneling for the subway system. I remember one night a sinkhole opened up on one of the major thoroughfares and a couple taxis and delivery trucks drove in. They got the drivers out, and then just filled in the hole with the vehicles still in there. I always thought that would make an interesting archaeological dig a few hundred years in the future (or the next time they need to dig up the roads)
