Good Trip it seems, was it hard to get past the security at Hearn, been trying for awhile to get in there? Great pics everyone, I had to work so I could not go!

The LCBO was awesome. Walked in like we owned the place and took a few souvenirs.

Was great to see and meet everyone, hopefully next time the weather won't suck/there won't be weird librarian dudes with pipes/locations won't be swarmed by cops/etc.

[15:00:41] <SeeThirty> still better safe than lexi

we crept along and hopped the fence where we could find the most cover, then made a break for it, once inside we weren't too worried because that place is massive... and we were high up enough to watch any move they could make... they did see us... when we were climbing the fence on the way out and they just said "get lost" basically.

trust me it was funny! we were in an alley trying to find a way into a place (like 20 of us in one alley) near a parked jag, then a guy with a tobacco pipe in his mouth comes out of the building beside and asked "are you having a convention?" we just said "photography club" and he asked if we were breaking into the building beside... of course not... we left after that

Security seems to do random drive arounds, so it's a bit of a crapshoot to get in or out. neX_ and I were there today and nearly got nailed by them doing a round on the way back out.

Luck of the draw.

Pics from today to come eventually.

Not that I would recommend going to see the secondary one in the interior of the plant... the only thing holding the floor up around it is the steel mesh that was once embedded in concrete. The floor now consists of floating concrete pads held together by the mesh... and the mesh is warping already.

It's not that bad!





Yeah, okay, maybe it is. But the secondary control rooms are far nicer. They have those crystal things and you can get on top of them.

Anyways, I still haven't fallen through the floor. Just need to know where to step.

yea the interior control room is nicer, I just wish it had windows like the other. And the floors arent THAT bad....that reinforcing mesh / rebar is what gives concrete most of its strength anyways...it should be safe to walk on (or at least used to be :p)

I remember what the floors looked like a couple of years ago (yeah, the mesh was exposed back then as well), and it wasn't too bad then. Yesterday they looked much worse that before.
