Exploring an ABANDONED Building (Leicester, MA)

[@gilesst.germain8628]

So there use to be a restaurant in Leicester call Fisherman’s Catch. It was where the Barbers crossing is now. I believe they were building this to be the new fisherman’s. I can’t remember what happened as it was 30+ years ago but I believe it had something to do with environmental issues. It has sat abandoned ever since.

Ooohhh interesting, thanks so much! I’ll have to look into this, as I couldn’t find anything online during my initial investigation. Very cool!

I believe something had to do with the septic system. It was not approved to have food sold, something in the ground... I forget now. It has been a long long time. It just sits...

[@gilesst.germain8628]

Yes I believe you are correct!👍🏼🤙🏼

I think this building used to be an ice cream place I went her once well over 25 years ago

When I was really little in the 80s, that building was an ice cream parlor called Sunday Creations (might have been spelled Sundae). You would get ice cream and they had a self-serve buffet of toppings set up. M&Ms, Butterfinger, Oreos, you name it. I think at some point after that it was a seafood restaurant and by the time it closed for good, it was a family restaurant called Daniel's. Not sure when it closed, but I do remember being shocked at how fast nature ate up the parking lot. Once grass and weeds started poking through cracks, the asphalt vanished in just a handful of years. It seems to be in limbo now. Not even for sale even though it's on a main road and real close to a Walmart. The buffet style ice cream was a great idea I wish it had lasted.

I must have driven by that building about 50 times in my life thanks forgiving us a look-see in there now I don't have to wonder 🤔

[@j-mass]

Of course! Yeah, I drove by it and was very interested…such a mysterious building!

[@Syclone90]

@@j-mass but that still doesn't bed my curiosity you said they was some kind of graffiti that was too explicit to show I wonder what that was

[@j-mass]

Lol, it was a risqué woman holding guns…KZbin would have definitely taken the video down if I showed it

[@Syclone90]

@@j-mass some graffiti artists are awfully creative doesn't surprise me 😀🌮

[@emmanuelmcdaddie5165]

@@j-mass it has definitely been abandoned for more than 10 years cause I’ve lived in Spencer since 2011 the Walmart next to the building is my local Walmart

[@emmanuelmcdaddie5165]

I’ve gone by there so many times and I’ve always wondered what it was

[@maverick5181]

Driven by there a few times, my youngest lives down the road

This was an ice cream shop called Sundae Creations and I believe it was back in the 80’s. I used to walk there with my dog on the weekends to get an ice cream and the workers used to give my dog old hot dogs lol. Was a nice place. Even had a “make your own sundae” bar where you could add your own toppings.

[@neilouellette3004]

Lived by there and old Leicester Airport mentioned within 2-3 miles. Memory?? Garage Convenience store about 35 yrs ago "past old gas station before that" closed down and sold to new owners early - mid 90's?? Much of that building torn down. New owners started rebuild put in a Fisherman's Market quickly while working on a restaurant w/Seafood Market mid 90's. Anyways no proper permits for anything and wouldn't have been approved was quickly shut down by Town & State. Besides old septic or cesspool, word has been old gas station tanks and polluted soil from the old past gas station.

[@j-mass]

Wow, thanks for the details on this location! Very interesting!

[@monrominee]

It was an ice cream sundae shop once

[@joanlatino505]

There are several abandoned homes in this same area. I always wanted to stop and snoop inside, but I thought I’d get arrested for trespassing. If you’re up to looking at these, I can show you where they all are and I’d LOVE to explore them too.

[@j-mass]

Wow, that sounds very cool!

[@bobradar2962]

Its been like that for the 35 years I have driven by it.Nothing was ever done. It says its owned by 123 Kids in North Brookfield MA 1970.

[@julianmalcolm]

I think it was a service station or something. It kinda looks like a gas station convenience store
