Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

Not too many sonics here, also Midwest. The ones around here shut down because, you know, turns out only operating for a portion of the year doesn’t work super well for multi-region businesses.. and they never quite figured out how to ice over the parking lot to make it work with ice skates..? Because reasons.
But a&w.. for whatever reason they manage that dynamic just fine..? Or at least there are tons of seasonal locations still. But those typically have limited indoor areas and often function most of the year now.
