Photo: Boxing Room

My camera and I did a little wandering during my work break today and we ended up in the boxing room on the 3rd floor of the Downtown YMCA. It is one of my favorite rooms in the YMCA but not because I ever use it. I’ve actually only been in there a few times and never was it to workout. I just enjoy the rough feel of it, how it doesn’t have heat or air conditioning yet people still come to use it. I love the idea that it is forgotten in the Y while everything else gets polished and updated. Like many other places in Memphis it is seemingly left behind as everything around it progresses.
