I never knew that there were others like me. I was arrested as a minor for "Burglary in the 3rd Degree" which means they believed I had been inside an abandoned house with intent to steal. This wasn't the case; I've had a life-long fascination for exploring abandoned sites. i don't have to explain the thrill to you guys. I think my UE fascination began with the game MYST.

Anyway, I've never done it in a group and I just moved to NYC. I life in Harlem. NY is jam packed with potential sites including the abandoned smallpox hospital on Roosevelt Island, among many empty hospitals which seem particularly intriguing.

This is my first post and I had to wait the three days for it.
Fellow New Yorkers? Hit me up please - let's go!

Doesn't NYPD have anything better to do right now?

Welcome.

Just FYI, that smallpox hospital is hardly abandoned. It's a hollow shell inside, fenced off and lit up at night. Not really a site for exploring, but still fun to go see if you get a chance. I live on Long Island and have had a hard time finding sites, though I'm sure there's some around. The go-to around here is Kings Park, which is fun and easy to do, but incredibly well known, mostly trashed, and some days you're practically tripping over people.

I don't get it

ah ok -- yea that sounds a lot less tempting now. Have you ever heard of the Vincentian Fathers building in Bed Stuy? I lived across from it this Spring. It's straight out of Silent Hill.
