Sadly no. Not really.
Live in a sprawling suburban neighborhood with about fifty goddamn churches, but nothing abandoned.
And even if I did have something nearby, it'd probably be no more interesting than a lonely forgotten tool shed in the backyard.

That sucks. Before the place closed in 2008, it was basically 15 churches, and a Sears.

Honestly wish there was an abandoned mall nearby... so I'm pretty jealous.

>>569395390
how recently?

Any tips on finding places like this?

Also, no security tried to keep you out?

That looks almost exactly like Marley Station Mall in Maryland. Not abandoned yet, but inching closer every day.

No that was Opry Mills. There was a water pipe burst, which caused the mold, and forced out the security.

As in the space is open, or the store itself (selling and such) is open?

If you look at the picture, its sealed off. The mall portion has been closed since 2008. Macy's was like sears, but it closed in late 2009.

Awesome photo's OP. I used to explore Kansas City myself but I'm in a smaller town in Kansas now, so no places to explore.

But you said it was open... Yeah, it's closed off but you said it was open but it isn't but...
Fuck it. Get yourself a brick and smash on through.
Regardless though these images are pretty freakin' great, OP.
I've seen an occasional thread regarding this over on in /x/, but they were pretty stale and lame. This is fresh and new to me. So please continue to post more if you can.

I don't get to do these things where I live, so looking through these is as close as I can get. Pretty sad on my part, right?

Kansas city is notorious for dead malls. (Metro North, Metacalf south, Bannister....)

>>569400237
to clarify, there is no electricity/people/running water. This board is loose, and covers a door that was smashed by some people ages ago. its the only way in as of now.

>>569400205

With October coming up, Halloween and all, I'd definitely come back to a place like this in the middle of the night.
Yeah yeah, I know it's childish and we're all pretty much adults here, but the kid in me wants to do this so badly.

Always wanted to do this but don't know any in my state
any dangers or issues encountered? Doesn't look old enough to be structurally unsound

>>569402418
Holy shit is that the mall from commando?

So why was the mall abandoned? It looks pretty fine to me. Doesn't look run down.

>>569395390

Any security on site? What's to stop some pyro from torching the place?

>>569400696

same, i would go to town with some glowsticks
it seems like it would be a great place to through a rave

I really want to do some abandoned urban exploration like this but don't really know where to start or go. If anyone from the North Houston area knows any places, help a /b/rother out.

Missile launch pad near Seattle. Now it is filled in, but it used to still have some empty buildings and steel trap doors at ground level where the missiles were kept underground. Nice dirt blast berm around the perimeter for jumping dirt bikes too.

Competition with other Nashville malls, online shopping, and the recession put it down. It was already half vacant around 2004, and these new factors killed it.

Look up rolling acres mall in akron ohio. Fucking crazy

>>569395390

it's probably a good thing i don't have access to abandoned malls. I would just show up with an ak and 100 round drums full of green tracers and film the shit out of me goin 4th of july indoors

>>569395390

I was in Nashville around that time. I remember some mall I went to seemed to be closing up. Wonder if that is the same one. I remember it had some ferris wheel thing right around it, right off the interstate. It might have just been advertisement for a car dealership. Can't remember what mall that was.
