I found the Palace of Depression on my search for weird roadside attractions in the tri-state area, and I was so excited to visit. A castle made of trash from the Great Depression? Right up my alley. But when we got there, all I saw was a bulldozer and huge pile of dirt and bricks – and assumed I made a terrible mistake. I almost didn’t even want to walk up to check it out. But when I did, I was amazed at what I discovered. These guys are renovating the Palace and have been since the late 90s. And they’re almost done! It was so cool to see it before it is complete – I even made two spots out of it.
