Yeah the old ship yards in Port of Chickasaw and some of the rusted industrial buildings (North Mobile) when they were there back in the day.
It was eerie which I loved back then because if you were out there, you were completely alone.
It was cool to imagine workers being there during WW2. I wonder what that must have been like.
Though if such a place existed now, no sane parent would let their kids venture off there. It should go without saying a place like this would be locked off with security nearby.
Another place we used to sneak into was the old Air Show on what is now I think 12th Ave in Chickasaw. You could find some interesting relics there. The caretaker/owner lived next door and would patrol it often with a shotgun.
He chased us off once and we never returned. Across 12th Ave was Prichard (Alabama Village) and it was a shite hole then and 3rd world literally now. No way he was going to follow us there.
I miss it but I'd never let my grandkids do shite like that now. Too many fricking weirdos now.

Just googled it... can't believe the city didn't take over the space. That place was just left to rot.

back in the 80s, exploring the abandoned old Lady of the Lake was a nice pastime.

I haven't explored many abandoned things, but I used to dig those videos on YouTube back in the day about it. I remember one specifically that was pretty cool. It was Mike Tyson's abandoned mansion in Ohio I believe. I can't find the video anymore, but here is a similar one:
The Kane Pixels (Kane Parsons - the director of the new Backrooms movie and he's got a ton of Backrooms liminal space videos on his channel)) YouTube channel has a few videos with this vibe to them that are pretty cool/creepy. It's fake obviously, but really well done. It's about this dude who finds a random hole in the ground and goes in it and there are hundreds of steps that lead down, and at the bottom is a mall straight from the 80s/90s. There are two parts (the second one is sort of long, but pretty weird/creepy):
The Oldest View Part 1
The Oldest View Rolling Giant (Part 3, but really it's the second part)
Those are both cool and VERY well made (apparently in a software called Blender). But they are in the genre of exploring abandoned 80s/90s time capsule type areas.

I explored an abandoned Soviet Submarine base in Estonia. My wife and I were with a local who we were also renting an apt from for a few days. He took us around showing us various sites and when we stopped at the base he saw an opening in the security fence so we went through it and started exploring the closest building. I was standing in a sort of atrium on the 2nd floor when there was suddenly a Doberman that appeared and I could hear it's owner coming up the stairs. The owner turned out to be a 6'-4 Russian security guard who yelled at me in Russian. Luckily our guide came running up from another room and talked to him in Russian. After talking to him a bit our guide turned to us and said we are trespassing and must leave.......which I was fine with aince I didn't know if we were going to be arrested . But our guide then said for 20 Euro the security guy would give us a tour. We absolutely paid him 20 euro and he took us around pointing out where various commanders offices were, where the KGB office was, etc. Money well spent.

Did that when I was younger. Learned anything of value is long gone. Learned abandoned farm houses are full of exposed nails, rotten floors, rats, snakes and hornets nests. Abandoned schools and warehouses are great for run ins with homeless. Abandoned hospitals are sketchy as hell. You feel like you are gonna get that disease that’s been festering for decades. Abandoned factories make you feel like you’re being exposed to whatever chemicals or asbestos the made the property financially disadvantageous to merely demolish. Once you’ve explored one they are all the same, and not worth the exposure.

Now, that's a cool arse story there.

I think they covered that one on mysteries of the abandoned. You should check it out.
