This Entire Japanese Island was Abandoned

It’s hard to imagine thousands of people living somewhere and then one day leaving it all behind never to return. But that’s exactly what happened to Ikeshima, also known as Ike Island in Japan. It formerly housed thousands of coal miners (some sources say over 10,000) during the height of coal production, from the 1950s well into the 1980s. When the coal mine was officially shut down in 2001, the hundreds of tall apartment buildings, hospitals and offices were left to decay. Today, fewer than 200 people reside on the island.

Peek Inside Dr. Dre's Longtime LA Manor

Dr. Dre's Los Angeles mansion features a 250-gallon fish tank in the living room and a movie theater room that might be best described as a “red room” (You'll understand what we mean when you see it). Dre bought the property in 1999, around the same time that he was releasing his second studio album, “2001.” At the time, Dre's most profitable business ventures were still ahead of him. He’s since acquired at least one much larger property in the Los Angeles area. However, he held on to this one until 2019, when he put it on the market for roughly $5 million.
