| | | I've never had much luck over the phone getting into anywhere. Face to face is what works best. If you see a contractor working there hit them up! On large demo, conversion, and building projects the contractor has control of the site. If you approach them right, they are your ticket for a free admission. Remember if you make a good impression after you get in, they may allow you to shoot other projects they're working on in the future. This works great with demo companies. The construction supervisor is the one you want. Go there with your gear. The more pro you look, the better your chances. Have a hard hat, safety glasses and wear steel boots, no shorts. If he has concerns, and he will, listen to him carefully. Address each one and do what they ask. Offer to share the images with them if they want them and/or to see them. Many times they don't. If they are strict and only give you a few minutes don't get discouraged. Make the best of it and don't step on their toes or waste their time. If you handle it right, they may let you come back to shoot a longer set. After a few times if you play it right, they may give you free reign on the site(s). Safety is their number one concern,wear all the required PPE and be safe on the site I got into the Chester Power Plant, Sunoco Paper Mill, MAB Paint in Reading, a PVC plant, RR derailment clean ups, and other sites like this. I shot the hell out of those sites. Sweet as it gets. Good luck!

| Many thanks for your tips! I have gotten into a church or two by just approaching the head of construction and chatting him up about the building. This one however is near impossible to gain entry to. They have already fixed the roof, so i lost my chance on that one. Also, They never even opened it in order to patch the roof. I drove by a few times and it was still super sealed up. The only way I can see to get in would be to create a organization interested in buying the place.I am somewhat proficient at bullshiting, but I doubt i'm that good. I took the historical route ( i work in an archive and can bullshit reasons for wanting access based on local history etc). There are so many theaters in this city and a few built during the same time period. This is the only one that is a total mystery. What sort of place has no pictures taken of it ever? My next step is to find some old timers in the neighborhood and see what they know about it. Trouble is that most people are not exactly friendly to strangers coming in and asking questions. I will not give up ! I may not be able to actually go in it, but I will try my best to find out what it looked like.
