Mike Tyson's Ohio Mansion, Now Abandoned, Had a Poolside Sundae Bar
I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor after Raphael here at SE pointed out this set of photos from Mike Tyson's abandoned Ohio mansion. The place is apparently sitting vacant, still furnished, with doors wide open. But almost more amazing is that Tyson had a poolside sundae bar!
And here's the kitchen. Three wall ovens, and an '80s-era TV sunk into a wall niche. [via MetaFilter]

I just looked through all of them and could see 75% of them just fine.
I live in Ohio and don't remember Tyson ever living here, but those pics fascinated me! I'd live in the pool area alone!

I tried earlier and again, just now. Only x at each photo box. Nary a one. I don't think my security settings are set too high.

Maybe it's an Ohio thing because I just viewed them again and could see all of them.
Could just be a lot of people are trying to view them at once.

He lived about 45 minutes south of Geneva Ohio (where i live). Don King has training camp facilities there and mike, i believe, temporarily lived here while in training. I think its in Trumbull county.

I wish our office had a Poolside Sundae Bar.

Pipe down! We don't even have a pool yet!

@Raphael & Adam - take your corners boys! Whoa, no boxing ring?
I've been looking for a half-way decent place to squat. Got the photos today, and found what I've been looking for.
Can you believe that sting operation? Talk about below the belt. I love my country, but how low can your stoop? Scary, very, very scary.
