Purina Mill, Minneapolis

Here are a few pictures from the abandoned Purina Mill in Minneapolis. There are some efforts to convert this mill to housing. The building is largely free of graffiti but is filled with rotting sludge and interesting smells.

I think the effort is to convert it into a hole in the ground. There's already a glut of failed mill-condo projects, and despite what the idiots on University Ave think, light rail doesn't instantly make a crappy neighborhood gentrified.

But yeah, the main rumor is that it's getting bulldozed before fall, they're just waiting for the meth heads to get the last bit of copper out.

Turn off the internet and go play outside.

Ha, that little rat ruined our entire outing. I guess that's what you get for bringing an animal loving female exploring, and yes, we gave it to a friend of ours who worked at a Humane society and we named it "Rina". It was adopted a couple days later.

You should also post the link to the thread here where everyone argued about it being a cat and gave it lolcat captions. (I'm too lazy to find it)

If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public!
If you want to make exploring friends, send people private messages! Meet up in real life! Get off the internet!
Don't try to have a UER e-penis! You won't impress anyone! This especially means you, Minneapolis MN newbies!

hey wow thanks to whom ever left the latter I made sure to put it in a less conspicuous place.....

yea interesting is not the word i would use for those smells... that place looks like they totally cut and run... every thing just laying around old training manuals computers of various types... an INTENSE control room main frame computers..... and we even found a few crack pipes... still looking for the dead horse loading belt

PS I LOVE MY GIRL FRIENDS CAMERA its just a canon power shot a520 but you can control shit on it which is a HUGE upgrade from my camera... and the flash just lights up entire rooms!

shot from the roof 8 sec shudder i flinched...


this is where they grind the horses up jk its a hopper of some kind i think... or a mixer



example of gf's camera's flash its some kind of dinosaur in the picture

Ninja- here's a tip: If you do NOT enjoy being chased around by crazed, Meth head scrappers armed with pick axes, avoid visiting this location after dusk.

I have ran in to scrappers at ham's before they are strange, but fairly harmless. At least the ones I have incounted. So sence I'm not made of brass and I didn't want any they left us alone. I did find a squat spot there complete crack pipes and fresh looking food.... that kept us ungard the rest of the night... love to hear the story though
