[Picture Heavy]

This warehouse is definitely for me one of the biggest attractions around in my area. This is the third run where we actually made it inside. 4 other times we've either been chased out or stopped by the police. Out of all the buildings I've hit this is easily one of my favorites, hope you enjoy the pictures! (As a side note, I'm shooting with flash, which I still haven't gotten down all too well.)

Love the pictures, the place looks awesome! I especially like the scale and the sink from picture 2, it just made me remember some times from elementary school that I had completely forgotten about!

Definitely a really cool building, and yeah the bathrooms looked awesome!

By the way for any Moderator, this was supposed to go in Great Lakes.

it may be of more interest there

I always like to go in warehouses because of the strange things you might see. I wouldn't go in one at night though.

Ah yeah, we don't like going to these places during the day. I've only done one daytime explore, the rest have been night.

awesome work Tribi! I honestly really like your shots that you got especially #1
#6 and #7. Cant wait to see your next posts.

Glad you finally got to get inside and experience it! Cool pics, I like how you capture the machinery/electrical of this old industrial warehouse.

Flash is such a pain in the ass isn't it? I am trying to learn it myself.

It's definitely rough, a few of the pictures I just took with my flashlight because the flash was way too intrusive. But I'm learning, I need to take more time capturing shots while in that building. We just don't like being in there long as there's only one known entrance and it's such a huge place.

Wow, that's some dedication, good job getting some runs inside. Do you have any stories of security/police encounters at this location that stand out?

I definitely do, there were two encounters that stand out above all. There was one time when we were caught outside the building, a guy from the truck station down the road pulled in and shined the beam down the alley we were crouched in. We waited in a small indent out of sight, but we waited for 15 minutes. We decided that he was probably calling the police so we decided to find a way out (It was 4AM). We ran for the fence and found a hole in it where we squeezed through, once we left we found a back trail that let out into a culdesac. We ran all the way around three blocks and we saw the truck circled the block with the building. That was probably the worst encounter there.

The 2nd one was when we went on top of the roof. It's odd because they have a ton of giant shipping container like dividers on the top. We walked up next to one of the shipping containers. We hushed for a second and heard talking on the other side of one of the containers. (It was 2AM here also) That was pretty terrifying as the building is in a pretty bad place.

But those are my two big encounters.

We had one run-in with the police, in which I pulled out my bag and showed him I was just taking pictures. I hadn't entered too far into the property. He was pretty calm and just told me it's dangerous and not to go in.

Yikes, That first story sounds incredibly stressful but I don't think you could have reacted any better given the situation.

I assume once you heard those voices you bailed out of there, haha!

That police officer sounded quite relaxed as well.

Thank you for sharing your experiences! I love hearing about other people's security stories.

That sink triggered memories for me too, my dad would take me to watch hockey at an old coliseum.

Yeah we got out of there the second we heard those voices, too dangerous of a neighborhood to think it was anyone like us.

These are awesome. This place is probably the biggest/best in the area now that the Brownhoist is down.

When I say big, I mean this place is long. Lots of corners you think are going to be the final corner. I can't imagine it was fun trying to find that hole in the fence. Makes an awesome story now though glad you got to see the innards, and that you survived the roof. That staircase is rough these days.

Sorry to post my own pics on your post, but these are a blend of bad shots from my first and second trip there. Thought they were relevant




Same place, different time:





The bowling ball of doom wasn't there the second time I came.







Wasps, I hate those guys


Gotta go back. Just going to keep chanting that to myself. Again, awesome pics Tribi. Sorry for fangirling so hard about this damn building

Looks great during summer, where was Number 3 at? I don't recall seeing anything like that recently.

It's hard to explain without being able to use anything for a reference and even harder because I haven't been there in months.

The super secret tunnel connects two large parts of the warehouse, and is visible from the outside. By that I mean you can see the hallway's exterior from the main "courtyard" with the receiving dock and the boat. It might help if I try to map this place out, it gets bigger every time I think about it.

Yeah it's crazy that I've been there three times and haven't gotten it all mapped out.
