Any anons from St. Louis, MO?
I'm taking a roadtrip to Cementland and neighboring haunted sites and would like a locals perspective on the area. It's situated north of the city along the Mississippi River (20 mins from Ferguson).
Advice on the neighborhood or visiting this place is appreciated.
Also /urbex/ general.
It's a 55 acre property. An eccentric rich guy wanted to build it as an industrial amusement park, but died on location before it could be completed.
The park features large towers, bridges (too decrepit to use), castles, and a sprawling underground tunnel complex.
The founder died when the bulldozer he was in flipped down a hill.
North St Louis county is the where the worst neighborhoods are in general. Ferguson is actually not that bad, definitely not the worst. Best advice, you should be very careful at night in STL, regardless of where you are. People get shot in Forest Park and in the Central West End (nice areas) too, usually at night. Hell people get shot on the interstate sometimes. I stay out of the city at night.
Its such a bummer Cementland will never be finished. The City Museum, designed by the same guy is amazing. Also, FYI, his widow is pushing for this case to reopened as a murder investigation. There are some sketchy details in regards to his injuries, gate locks etc. So, could be spooky as well as dangerous. Watch out for homeless people!

Thanks mate. I'll visit during the day then, and hopefully avoid security.
Have you been there? Or know if the site is patrolled regularly?

Sorry, never been, so no info abt security.

No problem. Getting a feel for the neighborhood was my priority anyways. Thanks again.

No idea, but Xroom Mod on youtube might be able to give you some information. Since he's into urbex and is from MO
Anyone got any input or comments about St Louis or St Charles at all? Appreciate anything, no matter how trivial
Hey OP, not sure if you're even open to the idea, but I live in Wentzville which is about 30 minutes from St.Louis City, and would love to tag along for some explorations. I'd pay for gas/snacks and whatever else. Just looking to have a bit of fun before I go back to college.
If interested, [email protected]

I'm open but I have a hunch the rest of the group won't be. I'll keep you posted.

Yeah, in stl go to 16th and olive, or 13th and locust and watch the k2 zombies have seizures while the cops laugh at them with the passing public

Don't go at night. You might consider arming yourself.
