| | | Posted by Quarantine There's always the ACME Coking plant. That is like 100% stairs though. The "Good Old Days" of Chicago exploring about 5-10 years in the past for those of us not into active stuff.
| Some people would argue that the true "good old days" of Chicago exploration are fifteen years ago, or anything prior to the increased security of the post-9/11 world. My time as a Chicago explorer was not quite that long ago, but still a relative lifetime ago, happening during the 2003-2006 era. Most of the great, reliably-explorable abandoned places I knew back then are long since torn down now, like Aetna, Washburn, Ingersoll, Brachs, and CC Hospital. If abandoned buildings are like old friends, it can be comforting to visit them from time to time. The only place I can go anymore that still contains so many old friends is Gary, Indiana. And even there things have changed to a radical degree in the past fifteen years. What were once vast stretches of vacant dirt have been redeveloped into townhouses and other housing solutions. A lot of the signature abandonments in Gary have been torn down, cleaned out, or are in the process of collapsing due to time and weathering. I'm heading back to Gary on Sunday to revisit and reexamine the beautiful decay and say hi to some old friends.
