Stairs to get up, there were a couple of floors, they had two holes for elevators on each one. If you drove around back the fence was cut open.

That’s crazy - I didn’t even know where the stairs were in that building

My mom and sister worked in that building for a while - we all had to crawl out of the elevator one afternoon when I had met them for lunch

That building has always been cursed.

Such a Louisiana answer.

Every other city gets to knock down its old arse buildings but somehow we have this one special one where it can’t be done.

Don’t explore abandoned places and shite like that won’t happen to you.

And no, not everyone did “stupid stuff” like this when they were a teenager

People that explore abandoned places or pull stunts like the Empire State Building couple eventually get what’s coming to them for being stupid

Biggest scam going. Government pays half the construction then government guarantees over market rent for the poor. Our poor live in new Nola styled homes not grass huts with dirt floors and no hvac and plumbing

Some people just don’t see situational humor and think of it as a serious statement.



Maybe we can create a form of punctuation to identify a joke at the end of a sentence like we use question marks and exclamation points.

So people went in there? What was in them? I remember passing by and thinking it would be cool to go inside just to look around.


Yes, we went in the early 90’s. Lots of graffiti and trash everywhere so obviously a lot of people went in before us.

I heard that wanna-be mountain climbers would practice by repelling down the elevator shafts but we never saw that.

Because the state of Louisiana used to have offices in that building?

Why are you such a weirdo?

The fact that they are considering charges for the owner is the most NOLA thing ever.

Used to visit a friend that was a federal agent when they were housed there..... creepy feeling seeing the people nearby trying to "make" the undercover dudes and chicks.

Pretty dumb to explore a building like that under the influence
Dangerous enough doing it without drinking

If the owners were required to have security on site then yes they might be liable to some extent

I’m surprised they were able to secure the building with pieces falling off it, that along should force them to tear it down
