Good theme day post.
We've spent many happy times on Sanibel...but that was a while back and I don't remember a Doc Ford's restaurant although he's one of my favorite authors. Are you going to the signing?
Hopefully someone will use this furniture.
"Abandoned" usually strikes me as old, but these items look both usable and in very good shape.
Funny peculiar when good items are left behind----and there they stay. Odd.

Nice theme day post. Hopefully someone will get the use these tables and chairs.
This is the "before" shot in the abandonment realm. Before the mold, corrosion, and disuse catches up with everything. I hope they're saved that fate...
What a shame to see all theses tables and chairs left behind. Maybe there's still hope for a revival.
gosh they could at least donate them to goodwill!
As you say hopefully only temporarily abandoned SRQ 😊😊
Odd that they left those behind.
It is hard to believe this furniture would be left behind... hardly looks abandoned!
Such nice pieces left behind? Anyway, hope you have a lovely weekend♥
