1.   The baseball cathedral at Ryan Expressway and Randol Mill Road stands empty, a silent, brooding testament to the ways of greed and avarice and foolishness.

2.   With the sun setting and the stands empty, a few remaining writers in the press box noticed a solitary figure walk out.

3.   Widely spaced thatched huts stand empty, surrounded by parched, broken earth.

4.   Houses abandoned after the bubble burst stand empty.

5.   The few shops glimpsed on the streets all appear thinly stocked with dusty goods, and stand empty and seemingly shut.
