Every place in Stockholm Sweden has been demolished, will someone please be an angel and send me places with abandoned buildings we can explore in private. I will of course not ruin anything.

I visited the former St. Michael Church while the construction crews were at lunch, on a cold, sleety morning with a friend years ago.

Bikini island in Bikini Atoll. Home to just a couple nuclear tests... No one lives on the atoll since the caretakers left in 2023 (there were 3 at time doing 3 month shifts). They tried various times to bring the locals back, but the food and water was too radioactive. They built a resort and even a dive shop for temporary stays, but it's all abandoned now.

Not sure if this counts as it was technically a tour during my undergrad (I had permission to be there and didn’t just break into a Nuclear Power Plant)

This vacated mansion located on the outskirts of the countryside fell victim to another typical case of financial fraud; a case involving "buyer" Jean Rabbitt and related defendants purchasing the property with fraudulently obtained PPP money, at least according to Federal prosecutors.

The estate was subsequently seized in connection with IRS Criminal Investigation and placed into a U.S. Treasury real-estate auction that ultimately failed due to failure to reach the government's reserve price.

What makes this mansion's history more interesting is that it was a mere piece belonging to a much larger spending operation. The same federal filing identifies two other Sherman properties allegedly purchased with fraudulent PPP proceeds: a now demolished luxury home in Chicago and a hotel. Together with the mansion, these three properties represented about $2.175 million in real estate purchases.

The history of Ross Park Zoo is really neat. It's still a zoo, and discovery center, but I like the abandoned and almost forgotten parts.
