Urban Exploration

I have seen a lot more urbex here than any other board. I try to do as much urbex as possible but it is getting cold here. Go to anything interesting recently?

A few days ago, I actually revisited the Clothcraft Clothing Factory, the first building I ever explored in Cleveland. I didn't get any pictures that visit, but I did shoot a decent YouTube video. Earlier this summer, I got to visit an entire abandoned neighborhood in Pittsburgh with about 20 abandoned houses.

I'm no photographer, but I did get a couple cool pictures in Clothcraft.

>>632871

Interesting, I am in Columbus. I have never been to Cleveland (not a native Ohioan) or Pittsburgh for the sole intent of urbex but both might get in to my sights. It would be a little bit of a drive for you but here is a really big hospital in Richmond, IN that is super creepy and interesting to explore. I haven't been to it in 2 or so years but I bet it is still there. Only trouble was it was -somewhat- close to main roads but 'main' roads in Richmond are like back roads most other places. I never had any trouble.

>>632877
This April, I'm doing a massive roadtrip, moving to Alaska, and stopping at every urbex location that I can along the way. I'll definitely see if I can stop there as part of the trip.

I've been here before and just to clarify, this isn't in Pittsburgh. It's in Clairton which is about 40 minutes away.

>>633732

yeah, on the outside.

What about on the inside?

Teufelsberg again, inside the main dome. This place is also probably one of the best graffiti art galleries in the world.

I mainly remember some horrific zebra stripe carpet.

>ruhr valley
>western Germany, NRW to be precise
all the big cities like Oberhausen, Duisburg, Essen, Dortmund, etc have had a shitton of steel and coal industry build in the 50ies. Coal is "dirty" these days because muh Co2 so thats no longer subsidized, and steel is cheaply contracted from china, so no monies there either. No cash = industry shuts down, and since you can hardly remove those massive concrete and steel structures, they sometimes just left them rot.
No industry= no more need for our ginormously overengineered railway system, so there's a bunch of abandonned cargo rail stations around too (pic related).
What exactly are you looking for?

>>634337
Stay out of the hot cells and you'll most likely be fine.

The effects of London Fog.

>>634632
Just anything close to the Dutch border, and nothing too risky in terms of chances getting caught. I' m wondering how bundespolizei is with trespassers.

Anything industrial being reclaimed by nature is awesome. Tall structures take the cake, of course.

How do you find good places without having to drive around in NRW? Don't mind spending a load on gas money, as long as it's not wasted on driving around endlessly, looking for a place.
Google Maps and Bing are friends, but they are outdated sometimes.

>>635161
I would be careful with trespassing around Europe these days. I have a feeling that the police are very alert and less lenient after Paris and those other ISIS threats

Can you give any context to the picture, is the tunnel somehow special? Also, do you have more pictures? I'm genuinely interested.

Fuck no, that's where all of the cool stuff is
Would it be better to use a Geiger counter or a dosimeter to measure radiation levels inside the hot cell building?

holy shit moar pls
how did you get in there?

>I' m wondering how bundespolizei is with trespassers.
Friend of mine and a few others got caught geocaching on Bundesbahn real estate. They took their names and told them to gtfo because they might hurt themselves (loleurope). Few weeks later they send mail asking for the name of whoever put the cache there, because "giving incentive to commit a crime" apparently is a crime on its own. Of course the answer was "fuck if I know"

>>635161
>How do you find good places
Partly coincidence, partly because they are just THERE (thinking industrial ruins here), sometimes these threads, sometimes google maps.

>>635294
so they say being white is living life on easy mode
cant confirm or deny
but i noticed my looks (generally well dressed) and my attitude (blue blood in the n-th generation) tend to help dealing with the cops

Cleveland is innumerable. There is Downtown and literally 360° around it is ghetto. Every abandoned building is occupied by the homeless.
Gentrification and such shit. Doesn't effect me. Just thought I'd pass on the knowledge
