To quote a song title from the '80s, "You Don't Know What You've Got 'Til It's Gone", the series goes beyond the ongoing cycle of build/use/abandon/repeat to explore the effect is has on real people who relied on and/or loved these bits of land and architecture before they became obsolete or out of fashion.
This show takes the decaying results of what were primarily business decisions and puts a personal, human edge on them - mostly disappointment at the demise of something that was used or loved for years, then removed from their lives unceremoniously. It has a pathos untapped by other such shows, and is a pleasure to watch - unassuming and simple, without staged drama or dire predictions. Give it a try - many of you will be glad you did.
