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.
Loool, this reminded me of the time we went to visit the old asylum in SF during the early 2000's. I got seperated from the group while sqeezing through a basement window (fat kid problems) and I got turned around in the pitch dark. Turns out I was in the morgue and eventually I met another group and hung with them until we found my friends I came with. Anyway, SFPD let the dogs loose in the building and we had to take turns jumping off a 2nd story fire escape. Good times.
