a NY factory

These pictures are from a factory I went to in September 2009. I walked around the outside and in a garage/storage building. There was a lot of security, so I didn't have the time to take a lot of pictures. When trying to get into one of the main buildings, several police cars pulled up and I had to make a run for it. These are all pictures that I took while exploring with one of my friends.

I'm pretty sure some of the buildings on the complex were still in use, and that was most likely the reason for so much security. My friend and I hear that the factory had shut down recently, which attracted us. But that was like a year and a half ago so maybe it's totally abandoned now.

It is and judging by the photo angles, they were shot from a public sidewalk.

Awesome post! This has to be the sweetest location ever posted on here. I thought going to NOLA Six Flags was badass, but you sir have proven me wrong. Kudos and kudos again.

Have you been back to see if it is totally dead at this point? I would like to see more of it.

The most interesting part of this whole thread is what scam was perpetrated to make this happen...


Ravenswood was owned by Con Ed from the time it was built until 1999, when due to deregulation, Con Ed was forced to sell its in-city generating capacity. KeySpan bought the site for $600 million US dollars. In 2007, KeySpan merged with National Grid. Because of the possibility to influence in-city electrical costs due to National Grid's significant upstate electrical distribution, the New York State Public Service Commission forced National Grid to sell the site. In 2008, TransCanada Corp, based in Calgary, AB, Canada, bought the site for $2.9 billion US dollars.

If it rusts I will find it

In defense of the noob...

The other post wanted meetups in both New England and Old England. Why would a cop work over two continents...because the only other explanation is that there's an international plot to destroy urbexing and it's coming at us one username at a time.

I may be playing devil's advocate ;)

LOL.

OK... I really what you did in 5, deconstructing the reality of the parking garage stairwell. It makes me question the enduring value of mankind's endeavors, and speaks to the ultimately ephemeral nature of paint and even concrete.

I also enjoyed the juxtaposition of 2 and 10, which melted my brain.
