| | | There are three places out of the multitude of locations I've been lucky enough to see over the last fourteen years that genuinely hold a place in my heart. First was the derelict grain storage silo on the outskirts of my home town, it was an iconic landmark for people arriving in it from the north, and over my many many trips there with a great many different people it created some of my most precious memories. Second is the huge abandoned Air Force base about 25 minutes away from where I live, for exactly the same reasons - multiple trips and many wonderful memories during my formative years of exploring, maybe even more so there than the grain silo. I was sad when the grain silo was demolished but I was absolutely gutted when the last parts of the base were demolished a couple of years ago. Third, and perhaps most surprisingly, is Selma Plantation House in Virginia, it's the only property I've ever instantly fallen in love with at first sight, walking up the snowy road towards it seeing it looming over the landscape on top of it's own hill, and seeing inside for the first time, it had this grasp on me and I didn't want to leave it. Thankfully now it's been restored.

| | | Posted by JBUrbex Out of the few places i've explored, I enjoyed them all and would regularly hang out in an abandoned mall near me. But theres one that sticks out, happened to be the first exploration I've done. My parents went to school there, and something about that place. God it spins my head how those memories are so profound in my head like I could never find this much happiness in another hobby. I know it sounds cringe, believe me it types cringe. All of those nights on the roof, we had taken a team effort and brought the only two chairs in the building up, barely any vandalism. What buildings are close to your hearts, and why?
| i've worked in factories and mills most of my adult life... my favorite locales are places like that. My last job was in a Kraft-process paper mill, working the back end (pulp mill, recausting plant). So whenever I see places like this come across the collective here, i squee and clickity click click.
