Always, but I won't be able to make it down there before June 1. I've tried posting random meetups here before. The trick seems to be putting the info out 2+ weeks before. Peoples gots families, responsibilities, etcetera.

Yeah I was thinking about it for weeks before my trip here but was so busy/distracted.

Not sure if Transformers 3 screwed it up too much, but the Damen Silos are still there.

Supposedly cops watch it. A huge roller was painted not long after Bay and friends left, so I imagine the roof is still doable.

I've also seen Damen multiple times on Chicago PD so it's apparently a filming hotspot now.

If I had a car I would go to Gary. Mass transit takes a little over two hours one way.

Damen is fine, no one will mess with you. I have seen people park right in front and go out there.

As far as the roof goes, there is almost no way except if you have climbing gear. They have blocked the ways and taken out the stairs.

p.s. there is almost always other explorers out there on nice days.

Which is incredibly surprising since it wasn't secured all that well.
