I could spend hours doing this.

Today I looked in an old house in an overgrown woodlot and found a newspaper from Truman’s presidency.

You stand in those places and the mind wanders to the people that inhabited that space before. What were their passions? What did they worry about? Where did they end up?

No. It’s called trespassing, you criminal.

I could say "I have better things to do with my time", but I am sure if I did it and found something cool, I would have an appreciation for it.

old buildings don't have access ramps

I've watched videos. I wish there was a good one of the Plaza Tower.

There is a pretty good one of some part of OPP that was ruined by a hurricane. Crazy how sprawling and disorganized OPCSO's facilities are.

As a young lad I collected quite the library of rat chewed playboy magazines from SWLA rice mills.

I love exploring, but nowadays you have to be so careful. Crackheads are everywhere, you need to keep a firearm with you or at least a rather large knife for your protection...

There's an abandon state school here that has a pool with some huge bull frogs.

Not buildings but when we were teenagers we used to explore the old train track that ran through Washington Parish. Several years ago my little cousin found a literal ball and chain in the bank of a creek that runs through our town.

Yes it was in an old house. I saw that it was an op ed talking about the President and when I looked closer it was talking about President Truman.

I'd be triggered, man. Big city Demoncrats stole that election from Dewey.

My wife’s cousin worked a rice mill in SWLA. He always said wash your rice but don’t ask me why.

I love doing that. Best ever was the Old Lady of the Lake when it was still standing. Got some old skeleton keys and ran all over it. Sat on the roof at night and drank a few beers. Bummer was the basement was flooded so we couldn’t go there. Done an old high school, bunch of old houses.
