| So, this is my first journal post, considering the fact that I didn't even know it existed even though I've been on the site almost a year.
I recently took a trip to Letchworth Village in Stony Point, NY. Boy, that was interesting. I had this gut feeling that when we got there that we'd be forced to breaking into every building we wanted to see. This is not the case. We didn't have to break into a SINGLE building. Everything was wide open. This campus is HUGE. It covers a vast amount of ground on either side of a single road.
We parked on one side and decided to start exploring the buildings. Some of them were rather reptitive, but the whole time we got this super weird vibe that we were going to find something unpleasant. And we did.
The Lincoln building, one of the bigger ones, held such vast amounts of odd things. The left side of the first floor stored children's toys, construction worker uniforms, weird fish art, and memories of someone's childhood (i.e. 4-H paper work, photos, etc.) The right side seemed to be someone's computer workshop. All sorts of old computer, mostly Macintosh, seemed to be taken apart and put back together. This place was filled with all sorts of wires and harddrives and such. Someone had busted out the ceiling tiles to allow for the light from the skylight to come in. There were chairs and posters arranged as if it was somebody's personal work space. The upstairs of this building gave hints that maybe I shouldn't be there. In one room all the paint chips were neatly sweeped into one corner and someone's chicken-scratch plans were written on a board. The room directly across from that one had a made bed and some personal belongings in it. That was our cue to leave. And we didn't look back.

I've had similar luck with pretty much everywhere I've gone. I always expect things to be locked but they're often left wide open.
Sounds like someone's living there.
