| | | The link to the article is below. http://www.chicago...ntent?oid=14190752 These idiots tell of locations, POEs, and more in an interview to a local paper. Now all my friends are blowing me up asking to go to these places. A lot of the locations are still there. All to sell books and pictures. Now I know how you all feel. These people tell the entire world WHERE and HOW to get in. Plus they are now responsible for anyone who follows their directions and gets hurt or killed. I seriously would like to have harsh word with these people.

| | | St. Laurence is the church that both Dawn Patrol and I recently shared photos of in separate posts. As you could see from my very first picture the POE isn't exactly a secret. As for the buildings listed in Gary, well, I laughed at the description of entering the Screw and Bolt factory since that would be the very unnecessarily difficult way to get in. There isn't a sealed door on the place, much less a door at all. Likewise City United is right downtown and is wide open. I always see people there, you're never alone (except on the day we went in the middle of a blizzard, then we had the place to ourselves). Sheraton? Same story, wide open. Anyone with functioning eyes and the capacity to walk around the building will find a way in with out any effort at all. Let's face, Gary is the cakewalk of Urbex, it really doesn't get much easier than visiting there. They're not exactly giving away locations and all of those spots are already on the Chicago tagger's lists of place to vandalize already. Good lord you should see what they did to one school, that place was tore up this spring, scrappers got most of the window frames on the east side of the building, all the science equipment is gone and taggers covered several rooms literally floor to ceiling. I've heard another place got hit by scrappers too and all the chandeliers are gone from the auditorium. Regarding the Chicago locations, Brach's and Reese Hospital are gone. Well, Brach's is mostly gone. Edgewater and Ravenswood hospitals have upped security as of this spring and from what I've heard even the taggers are staying away (Ravenswood is near a friends home, she says they've got got security who actually patrols frequently and they're catching people a few times a week, so if you make it in kudos!) Lawndale Theater I know nothing about. I agree that it sucks that so much attention is being drawn to urbex, I feel like I got into it right as it was starting to get a lot of media attention so as a result there are a lot of places which I'd love to visit that I'll never get to see. I'm not the most physically adept person and I have a major fear of getting caught so that limits the places I can go as security is increased and they actually start sealing up entrances in a serious manner. I'll keep poking around though, because I love these places.
