I had first gone here around 2010, when it had just closed up, still sealed and moldy and everything left behind. One of my first explores ever and it was awesome. One a whim, 7 years later, we were in the area and two of my friends had never been so we went inside for a bit. Things had changed. A lot. most of the metal had been stripped for scrap and the majority of what was inside had been removed or destroyed. It was very interesting to go back and see the decay over the years, it was much more drastic than any place I had to returned to prior to that. 01: talk to me.

Pretty sick stuff, wuv it
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in. | |
Great set, the decay in this place really enhances the pictures. I'm curious what it looked like right after it closed. You don't happen to have shots of that do you?
| |
Ah, hold on, never made the connection that MacGruder is actually you Steve. I'll find the old shots on flickr. Thanks!

Here's a link to the first set I had from the place. I will warn you that it was when I was first starting out with photography, so most of them are terrible: https://www.flickr.../72157624497364524

No worries, I regrettably ran around with a point and shoot for the early years of exploring. These shots are awesome by the way, looks like a totally different place. Always enjoy seeing the difference between first closed and years of decay. Thanks!

Yeah 2010 was much better, with everything left inside. Tons of mold though, respirator was necessary. I'm surprised the place has anything left nowadays.
