posted a thread over in the northwest and here's a quote and a link to one of my first explores back in the early 80s alot more of it was there when i was there.





There had been incidents of supposed followers of the band Insane Clown Posse attacking people from the ruins. City of Lakewood feared a lawsuit if someone got hurt for trespassing ... etc.

The ruins came about due to a military training exercise blowing up half the building in the late 1980s. Whether they used explosives or flew over it and unloaded a bomb is a bit of a mystery. It is reported that first responders later used the ruins to train people for work in collapsed building rescues.

Nonetheless it is gone now except for a part of the foundation that is next to a historical information display.





And old images can be found here >.>

looks like a fun place.




When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store.

there was alot of graffiti and we would run into some from time to time. one thing though i/we used to park in the new hospital parking lot and u had to walk through a tunnel under the road and up the hill. through a path of trees to get to it.this place has a very rich history if u do a search. here's a link i found interesting.
