Well Known Factory and Trashed School

Posted on Forum: UER ForumQuote
Me and two buddies were in Chicago and decided to check out one of the most known factories and possibly the most destroyed CPS abandonment...most of the pictures were bad due to lighting so I merged the good pictures from each into one post.

We started with the factory, many of the better shots were on the roof where better lighting was available.

My friend climbed to the tippy top of the water tower this trip.

Almost walked through this...

Moving on to the school, it was very trashed. Combine that with the darkness and how open it was and it gave off a pretty eerie vibe.

We were actually able to play a game with this ball...

One of the last photos we took before a complication arose...

As we walked towards the room across from this one we could smell the strong scent of urine emanating from it, nevertheless, I walked in looked to my left...nothing, looked to my right and my LED light panel flashed directly into a homeless guys sleeping eyes waking him up. He started to lunge up so I booked it. One of my friends thought I was crying wolf so he stayed...until he saw the mans' hand wrap around the side of the door like in horror movies. We ran out screaming sorry the entire way and wished the man, "Goodbye and goodnight" after we exited.

Thanks for viewing!

Surprisingly that's not all of it...there was more in another room I didn't photograph and in the room with the homeless man...possibly more in the rooms we got chased out before entering.

I still need to check out the factory... ughhh! How much of it did you explore? It seems like such a weird place.

Also, I know the school. been wanting to go there, but my concern is the homeless.

edit: but then again, you guys went at night so maybe day time is better? perhaps during the winter?

I never had any issues with homeless people there last summer, but I did have some issues with cops. This was during the day.

Nice set

You're not like the other girls, are you..... 😬





Give abandonment a reason for its sacrificial reclamation to nature. Love it. Remember it. Take a picture. Share it. Leave the decay to nature.

Nice explores! Did you see the gym at the school? I've only been during the day and haven't encountered any homeless inside at that time. There was one dude outside but he was cool.

In the factory, I saw the offices and the warehousing section for the most part as well as a bit of the manufacturing area, unfortunately, a lot of the places charm has been destroyed, but the roof makes it all worthwhile. I'd recommend during the day in summer or spring for the school.

Probably due to the fact that the remaining toilets had clearly been used...thanks!

Thank you! I played a game of PIG in the gym so yes, I woke the guy up so he wasn't all that happy...I wouldn't be surprised if he was drunk based on the other...findings.

I can't believe I forgot to attach this but it's a screen-grabbed picture of my encounter.
