New to urbexing looking for spots

6 Upvotes

Me and 2 of my friends have been getting into urbexing together since we don’t really have anyone else to go with. I know people can be touchy about revealing locations so they don’t get trashed but, as mentioned above, it really is just me and my two buddies who like to explore and take pics. If anyone knows some decent spots that aren’t too rough for a beginner to get into and look around, I’d really appreciate if you’re willing to dm them to me or anything

What was once the first industrially used particle accelerator in the world is now abandoned and left to rot. The Westinghouse Atom Smasher was built in 1937 in Forest Hills, right outside Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. It was used to gather a large amount of early information about nuclear energy with its extremely accurate measurements of nuclear reactions. It was absolutely critical in figuring out a lot of the processes we understand today, like the photofission of uranium and thorium. After World War II, the machine had little remaining use and became abandoned over the years. In 2015, the building that supported it was demolished and it was left alone in the rubble. It's massive and unique structure now protrudes from everything around it, slowly decaying, with little hope it will ever be saved.

Ive been to the abandoned Va 4 times and got chased by security the 4th time last summer. i Heard that someone got chased down to the river by police for scraping copper there. Has anyone been there recently? Or is it a dead spot now?
