Mingo burned down..(updated with pics from last trip before burn)
< on 10/30/2007 1:47 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
So I went to mingo last weekend and didnt get around to posting the pictures. Well some assfuck set it on fire last night and now I'll never be able to go again.

News article
http://www.kotv.co...l/story/?id=138811
Video
http://www.kotv.co...lips/news/?id=9622

The place didnt have power so someone intentionally set the fire. I'll post my pictures of the place sometime in the future, there wont be anymore trips to mingo.

Ok so I hadnt planned on posting these pictures for a while but since the place burned down and because this has got to be one of my favorite places I'm posting them now.


I dont know for sure but I think this was some type of radio.

Video:

Also I saw on another news site that the school was to be demolished in "a few weeks" anyway. Guess someone has something for burning buildings listed for demolition..

In the news video I posted you can see the roof collapsed in.. I'm also going to assume that the damage is even worse than just that because of this shot in the video:

thanks for updating the link with some photos. that radio in the first one looks like one my grandparents had. Some of them looked a bit blurry. If you want I can send you a link to a program that can make them a bit crisper. If you want just PM me and I will send it.

Me and my girlfriend went back to mingo, I made a video on my cell phone and my girlfriend took a bunch of pictures of the outside and we even went inside to see how bad the building was burned. No pictures right now but I have the video from my cell phone.

Hello everyone, this is my first post... I was meaning to say this earlier but had to wait a week before I could post.

Zeman, I wanted to thank you for getting these shots of the Mingo school. I drive by that part of Mindo rd every day on my way to work at EDS down the street. Every day I drove by I kept thinking how cool it would be to explore it, and actually a buddy and myself were planning on doing so but the fire put a damper on those plans.

Now it's pretty much all leveled and gone. It's a shame, but, I can still see what it was like thanks to Zeman and other urban explorers who take the time to go where no one else normally goes.

Hello, Owasso! I lived on 143rd E. Ave when I was a kid -- even 30 years later, it's still pretty much out in the country. My first UE was an abandoned house close by -- burned out then, now it looks like there's still a bit of its foundations in someone's backyard. It had a cistern or septic tank or something with an open top. My friend Mike and I dropped rocks on a dead skunk floating in it... until one of us dropped a big enough rock to pop him open, which encouraged us to flee the area.

Hello Texas. Owasso has really developed in the last 10 years though, it's hardly just some town any more.
