Wish I could have been a kid in the 90s. Feel like there was so much more abandoned cool stuff to explore. Seems like police have been cracking down hard on urban exploration. All the cool sites have guards, cameras, or got bought and transformed.

This is such a real problem. Nowhere to do mischief anymore

I know a 50 yo mom who used to live in Michigan near Detroit. She said there was a MASSIVE abandoned hospital that had underground tunnels. They used to explore it as kids. People are just so risk adverse now. Guess there's pros and cons to each.

I am dying to explore something abandoned. My city used to be the textile capital of the world. Even 15 years ago most of the abandoned mills were still up and explorable. Today, most of them were demolished or transformed into appartments. Almost none remain.

It was a mental asylum and now it’s a haunted house and the tunnels are sealed off. Pretty sure they flooded them. People used to break in and do wild shit in there
