In light of the Backrooms movie releasing and being a local to the general area, I want to shout out the original location the picture was taken, it’s a hobby shop now!
Formerly Hobbytown USA in Oshkosh, WI, now John’s hobbies. It’s pretty cute, has several indoor RC tracks including one where the musty liminal space was. From what I can tell the new ownership has kept everything intact in terms of how the place is run and the inside, and is a local business so I’d recommend a visit if you’re curious at least.
As someone who has been in that building and others in the downtown strip I can tell you the architecture throughout those old buildings is certainly…unique. Not quite as liminal now but still has that maze like feel. The old theatre does tours as well and has some funky corridors, and even a lamplight tour where they go over history of haunting at the place, so that could be another stop if you’re in town for the big ol plane whatever this summer.
