Growly notes indents continue11/2/2023 ![]() Right now, the app feels like it was literally pulled off an iPad onto a mac. That said, there are a couple of things that I see as critical for the success of this application. ![]() I use it because of the ease of access associated with the jumble of information thats literally thrown in my face. It’s a great hybridization between what would be an alternative Finder and a note taking application. Notebooks’ innovative notebook idea is interesting. Some professors throw readings at you, other power points, some with 3 hour lectures where they literally talk at you. Since we’re on a quarter system here at UCSD, everything happens very fast paced and we’re overloaded with information while dealing with unique teaching styles. The old town that lay abandoned now was once a home to hundreds of people, including families.I’ve jumped straight into using this app to take notes for my full course load this past quarter. The shops were opened, the food centers were active and the playground was always filled with children under the watchful eye of their parents. No one really knew why it was suddenly abandoned but one day, after about ten years from the day the first tenants moved it, those same people just upped and left. Rumors of a serial killer spread from an unknown origin soon became the de facto reason for its abandonment. In time, it faded from the public conscience. When one day, barb-wired fences were erected around it and military signs posted visibly to deter urban explorers from venturing in, it made little to no waves. The military had taken it over to be used as a training ground for urban deployment but even they stopped using it abruptly. The town had slipped from history, and the government seemed contented to let it languish in disrepair until a private company bought the land. With no one to take care of it, the trees and bushes grew wild around it. The fence still stood but in certain places, it was possible to enter. The security cameras were active but there was little indication that anyone monitored the town judiciously. Beyond the gates, it stood undisturbed, its dark buildings like giant statues peering out into the night. The stories I recently told of my paranormal investigations and the current supernatural issue plaguing me prompted me to embark on this latest exploration. I don’t know where it came from, just that one day after I had my house re-blessed, the idea to visit this old town popped in my head and like an addict, I could do little to avoid its seductive urgings. I wasn’t going alone of course, so I gathered two others with me and planned a night to visit this place. We were armed with the usual stuff, torchlights with a good number of spare batteries in case, some food and water and a couple of EMF detectors for good measure. There was no reason to bring this – the town never showed any signs of haunting – but I suppose recent activity encouraged me to cover all bases. Fortunately, Bryan had EMF detectors which he brought at my behest. When we arrived at the site, it was a little past midnight. The town yawned before us and we could see little past the first blocks. Away from the street lights that were already minimal in this part of the country, the darkness that wrapped itself around the old place was like a solid inky black. It was deathly quiet and not even the sounds of birds of crickets rang out. On occasion, a car would zip by but along this lengthy and dark road, none would stop. It was a thoroughfare and it is one that drivers would happily avoid if they could. It was as accident-prone as it was creepy.Īs we stood along the side of the road facing the slope leading up to the entrance once used by heavy military vehicles, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of homecoming. It was like returning to the place of your birth, which was weird because this town was abandoned before I was born and I had zero connection with this place. We made our way through a weak spot in the fence and waited a few moments. If there were motion sensors and people watching the cameras, then the cops would be on us in five minutes. Say what you will about my government but they’re efficient when it comes to preventing people from breaking their rules. Five minutes passed and with no authorities showing up, we began our exploration unmolested. Neither Bryan nor Janice knew my reasons for being here.
