Posted by Peptic Ulcer The database you can see is public. The full member database has mostly abandonments that cannot be seen by regular members as we wish to preserve and protect them from barbarians. I'm confused by your initial statement. "...all major buildings here have either already been explored or are demolished". By virtue of them being in the database itself, wouldn't that automatically mean they were explored?

What you think everybody on here are law abiding citizens and nothing will get trashed just cause you have to be a full member? Safest way is to not even tell anybody but half the time that hardly works anymore. Lol

Guess you've never seen places in the database that just have exterior shots. Therefore those do not count as being explored despite being in the database.

So what's the contradiction?

Posted by jonrev Nah, the NIMBYs up here like to bulldoze shit left and right in the suburbs. Nothing really lasts long unless it's in Waukegan.

As of today. In 20 years, half the suburbs will be Waukegan.

Thanksgiving Day I came across an abandoned building and took some photos. However, people live there. There was a White woman who lived there and said she been there 3 or 4 months. Since it was in a Latin Kings neighborhood, I asked if any gang members come in and she says the only people that come in are the ones who live/sleep here. Anyways, the rooms are just filled with garbage, so I wouldn't want to live here.

Perhaps it is a place already in the database? Does anyone recognize it?

This is the entrance.

Posted by Neal Well, see I'm a big sewer person. I been going into sewers in Chicago for the past 7 years. Check out my sample sewer gallery page where me and my former buddy went: http://www.nealirc.../DaSewersBaby.html - I am the guy holding the rose. Abandoned buildings not so much my speciality, but it seems to be somewhat extinct on the city's North side.

What kind of monster puts horrible un-pausable music onto a web page?

What kind of monster puts horrible un-pausable music onto a web page?

The same monsters who wear suits and take hundreds of selfies while draining.

Although I myself am half White and half Chinese, after high school I moved to and lived in multiple Hispanic and gang neighborhoods. So I learned a lot and know a lot of gang members. In Hispanic and Black neighborhoods I show off my sewer pamphlets and try to get Hispanic and Black people interested in sewers. Apparently not. Same with gang members. The largest Hispanic gang in Chicago is Latin Kings, and for Black gangs, GDs.

I've showed sewer pamphlets and pictures to Latin King leaders and GDs - I can't even pay them to go down with me.

I pretty much figure sewer and abandoned building exploring is genetic. If it wasn't in their genes, they can't be recruited.

I also happen to lived in several Latin King neighborhoods, and know so much about them I wrote a book about them.

Here's a sample front cover:



The music is a sample Cumbia mix, and Puerto Ricans listen to Salsa.

I also am a regular at a Chicago gang forum and ask gang members for locations of abandoned buildings. And show them my sewer pages.

I don't know why, but it seems urban exploring is really a White people thing. But I send that sewer page to a lot of Hispanic people on the Internet.

Chicago is a very segregated city. And amongst it's Hispanic and Black neighborhoods it is also segregated.

Most White people in Chicago do not know what teardrop tattoos mean. They don't know about the 2 types - filled and unfilled. They don't know what it means if it's on the left side of the face or right side of the face.

Most White people in Chicago also don't know what it means when someone wears a tilted cap.

Then again, most White people in Chicago are tourists, and did not grow up in Chicago. Did not attend the public schools.

There was a recent article that says White people make up 6% of the Chicago Public Schools, even though they make up 1/3rd of the city.

Even for me, it's hard for me to strike up a conversation with random White women on the street. It's much easier to approach random Hispanic girls.

Now if I go to Lincoln Park and talk to beautiful White moms with little kids, they'd give off a cold shoulder vibe. Whereas if I go to Humboldt Park and approach random Puerto Rican moms in playgrounds, it's much different. They're much talkative. They're also not living in fear. They know the gangs and have them as family.

I'm sorry, but I'm confused. Why are you posting at length about Latin Kings, racial predispositions, and so forth? What is it you are trying to say?

I think all you are accomplishing is establishing the fact that are a bit of a strange bird.

What is with all the weirdo random people on the forums lately?

He might be trying to prove himself in a way to the members of this forum. Or maybe all those fumes from the sewers and living in abandoned structures for months on end got to his head.

Everything I say is my point.

I agree I am different. I'm not your average White guy.

I don't drink, I don't smoke. I got no piercings, I got no tattoos.

I wipe the oil off a pizza slice with a napkin before eating it, ... etc.

I'm not your average White guy.

I can tell; in your pictures, you appear Hispanic.

Do you do this often..? How many playground have you been banned from thus far? Haha.

^ Actually what I do is mostly hand out pamphlets against religion, such as on the public trains, public streets, etc. And with White women, 90% of the time, they freak out or go "no thank you" and reject. Whereas for Hispanic women 90% of the time, they accept. Meh.

Never mind. This whole thing makes me feel bad. I'm sorry, man. I'm not sure what else to sat at this point. :-/

Posted by Clockwork Handing out pamphlets about it, however, just seems preachy, kind of like religion. As for white women, you need to get rid of the moustache. Moustaches are gross.

Came asking for locations, got tips on how to be a better person. UER is feeling the Christmas spirit.

Quoted quote:

Basically look less masculine / more feminine?

I agree with you.

Relatively speaking, White women are feminine.

I also regular a City forum and for the Chicago section which is 99% White, you won't believe how many White people post threads on safety in living/walking to a Hispanic neighborhood or neighborhoods that are mixed with White and Hispanics.

Half Hispanic neighborhoods such as Logan Square and Albany Park, and Rogers Park.

In fact, in all my neighborhoods in Chicago, you can see Hispanic girls walking around in bikinis in the summer time, without a shirt on, in the Hispanic gang neighborhoods. Same with walking around barefoot. You don't see that with White women in White neighborhoods - not unless they're in a large group with guys, particularly in crowded festival events.

And you know who the easiest type of Hispanic girls to talk to? Ones who are in gangs, have boyfriends that are felons, and where their kids biological father is just in and out of prison. Those are the easiest women to talk to and make sexual jokes with. And a lot of them say they don't get approached by White guys.

This thread gets more and more bizarre by the minute.

This is all getting off track. What in the holy fuck does any of this have to do with urban exploration?

Nothing.
