Gotta love folks that provide photo evidence of their acts of criminal trespass.......... :laughin:

There are some very interesting tunnels behind locked doors in the basements of my university. You can get into just about any building on campus from underground, although the National Research Council's buildings all have cameras and motion sensors set up in their tunnels...

Yeah Detroit is one of the most famous UE-city, but if i travel to the USA i think i rather go to Los Angeles and drink beer along the sunset strip :)

 

Thanks

Well in Sweden it is not against the law to enter abandoned buildings ;)

Underground is always Cool.

I heard that ABBA was one of the major funders during the construction of Yangtorp. What a total waste. Is it completely closed down now?

Yes Frida in Abba was one of the biggest invester.   

 

When i visited it it was totally abandoned, but now i think someone tries to get it back in buisness again.

Where are you in Sweden? The company I work for has a factory in Umea and I am planning to visit next year.

[ParadiseMJ]

It's abandoned now.

I've explored a few abandoned places... For starters there are quite a few abandoned islands surrounding the main island and I've found a couple FSJs peppered with shotguns and houses ready to fall down from being flooded several times. Then there's the 2 local psychiatric centers Kings Park Psychiatric Center and Pilgrim State psychiatric center that have been shutdown since the 1980s that have many tunnels and covered up train tracks that were used for the civil war being that there's gravestones from the mid 1800s surrounding the buildings in the woods very close nearby. I've also visited the Camp Hero radar tower located at the end of Long Island and tried getting into the tunnels leading to the covered up naval base but couldn't find a safe entrance. Not many people would think/know about the tunnels and pathways 3-5 stories beneath NYC but there is some CRAZY stuff down there and it's very hard to get to.... No pics of that stuff as I didn't have a camera or a phone with flash. I do have pics of the rest of my nearby adventures :)

Basement of building 44 at Kings Park

15th floor of the famous building 93 at Kings park

3rd floor of a storage building at Kings Park

Entrance tunnel half a mile away in the woods from the basement of the power plant at Pilgrim State

This is on top of a watch tower at an abandoned horse racetrack, probably 100 feet up or so

"The Camp Hero radar tower was apart of The Montauk Project and is alleged to have been a series of secret United States government projects conducted at Camp Hero or Montauk Air Force Station on Montauk, Long Island for the purpose of developing psychological warfare techniques and exotic research including time travel."

On the roof :)

In the distance over the trees you can see the satalite from the top of the Montauk lighthouse

If I had pictures of the tunnels from under Manhattan I'd post them discreetly but all of these pictures are all well known places.

Where are you in Sweden? The company I work for has a factory in Umea and I am planning to visit next year.

 

Hi i live in the southern part of sweden (1200km south of umeå)   

[huricane4]

Visited Eastern Germany this weekend to buy some Booze and  Beer. (In Sweden alcohol is only sold in Special shops, and are very expensive) So we have to go to Germany to buy cheap Beer.

 

Also went to Prora to take some Photos...

 

Probably the worlds Longest abandoned building.  4.5km or 2.8 miles Long!

HOLY crap! What the heck was it used for??

[huricane4]

HOLY crap! What the heck was it used for??

 

It was a part of Hitlers "Strengt through joy" project  = a gigantic vacation resort for Nazis but was never used in that purpose.

Thats crazy man. I love going and seeing places like that (old obandoned) I wish i could see it in person

[knever3]

Wow, keep the pictures coming, I really enjoy seeing real pictures of these places I will probably never travel and see for myself.  It may just seem "normal" for you, but I am very excited to see any pictures you post on any topic.  Thank you.

The closest I will ever get to anything like this is exploring the abandoned mining camps in Colorado.

That really sucks. Why not Denmark, it's a lot closer. I suppose it's okay if you live in southern Sweden, but what about the people way up north? That's where my mother is from, near Umea. I remember her telling me her father used to make his own booze up there.  :cheers:

[gogmorgo]

By special stores, do you mean like a government liquor control board or something like that? That's the way it works in the two Canadian provinces I've lived in most recently. Although most bars can legally sell as offsale. But it's always expensive. Typically about 2-2.5 times what prices are like in the US.

Germany is cheaper thats why,      Well the Moonshine tradition is alot stronger in the north ;)

Exactly, ordinary store is only allowed to sell alcohol up to 3.5 percentage.

I agree with Knever3 as well. And that just means youve got to post of some pictures!

This is the kind of place I would have loved to have seen. Its a now abandoned 1920's 10 story Detroit High school Its actually amazing. The architecture it has is great. it has indoor pools. I believe on in the basement and a single lane one on the roof. It has a rifle range in there for the ROTC with grandee targets. Pallets of unused books. A cafeteria that feeds 500 at once. too bad they tore it down. I would have paid to see that place.
