I have a thing for abandoned places, better yet if it's abandoned infrastructure, and best is abandoned electric power. There are a number of abandoned, incomplete nuclear power plants scattered across the country and world! None near me, just cancelled plans before they started construction. One property was an army air targeting range in the '40s and '50s, sold to the utility who planned to build a nuclear plant there, and when that fell through the property was sold and became a golf course.
