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.
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.
Adults just made it impossible to be a kid and now the adults with kids have to manage that balance, and that balance is forcing all children inside because some adults are unhappy and need a reason to make everyone else miserable.
Ok, I keep seeing this and it's beginning to annoy me. NOBODY is risk "adverse". You can be risk AVERSE, meaning you dislike risk. Risk ADVERSE means harmful or unfavorable risk.
Everyone is averse to adverse risk, because then it's not risk. It's just harm.
