| | | I love this thread! I thought I didn't have anything to add to it until I remembered one of my very first explorations... It was a house on the Southwest side of Chicago, that had belonged to one of my sisters best friend, and was neighboring a friend of mine. As a child I ran through the halls playing games or coming to pick up my sister for dinner, it was down the block. That was until the family moved away to Oregon. The house is a lot nicer than the others around it, with 3 occupiable floors and an attic. It had several large bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, along with a massive master bathroom. Due to this, it was put on the market at a very steep price. There were no biters. The family was fairly well off so they just left regardless. Following this, the house went abandoned. Proceeding this all I had explored was a burned down farm next to my dads, but this is what really started my interest in the hobby. I gathered my friend s and we set off to the house, easily finding an open back window and entering. Most furnishings were gone besides a couch in the basement, but all utilities were running. It was odd seeing the rooms that were crowded with life so empty dull. Overall, it was a decent explore, great introduction in my opinion. We visited the house often, even spending the night in it once. That was years ago, today the house is still unoccupied, but has been placed back on the market. The owners are trying to sell it again and I believe it is sealed, maybe one day, if I can I'll get back in and make a post. The house was one of the big reasons for my developed interest in urbex, it made me start watching youtube explorers like the proper people. We even used the house as an intro to urbex for our friends. Years later, it served as a motivator for us to hit Chicago's famous Silos, which is where our story kicked off and truly began. I'll forever be thankful for the experiences the house gave, both in use and not. Thanks for reading.
