Howdy Folks! (new)

Dan — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:02:10 GMT

Hows it going? I'm new to this tribe forum, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any good sites around Oakland and the Bay area? Right now I'm making a podcast of some SF urban exploring I did this winter, and need some more footage. Hopefully going to be interview John Law on the subject and even hit up his favorite spot.

thanksabunch,
Dann Evans

Glen Dale Tuberculosis hospital in MD

Sylvrshadow — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 02:42:18 GMT

Hi All,

This is my first post, but I love to explore abandoned places. (Especially when I get up enough courage to venture in!! LOL) I wanted to share a place that is about 20min from where I live called the Glen Dale Hostpital. It was built back in the 1930's as a tuberculosis center, and was officially closed in 1982. Here are a few sites that give some great details and pictures of the place:

I have been all around the property, but not inside, as the place is often patrolled, although others have had successful ventures inside. There was a bill drafted to sell the property, which is huge, but it currently remains unsold. One of my adventure there with friends was a pretty wild one. We were in the car trying to drive on the old overgrown roadways between the buildings, when my friend stopped the car by the power plant seemingly for no reason. I started to ask why at the same time my other friend did, and the hairs stood up on the back of my neck and I instanly got goosebumps. Someone asked "do you feel that?" And two seconds later a brick from the top of the smoke stack of the power plant fell down and bounced close to where our car was. We all screamed as my friend tore the hell out of there.

Of course we all laughed it off about an hour later, but no one went back for quite some time. :) The next couple of times I went nothing out of the ordinary happend. I hope to get back out there soon, just in case they do manage to finally sell the place. When I do Ill be sure to take some pics. :)

Looking for abandoned place in Los Angeles?

Ivet — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 03:26:33 GMT

Hi everybody,
Does anybody know of an abandoned place in Los Angeles? We are looking for a place where we can park two rows of cars facing each other. This is for a music video being shot this Saturday. I'm thinking something like a construction site, or abandoned parking lot. Hope anybody can help. Thanks

I'm an archaeology student in Sacramento. I recently learned about UE (through an article in BUST magazine) and I'm wondering if there's anyone in my area I could get to know, online or off?

abandoned report from Istanbul

johnuxb5 — Sun, 16 Apr 2006 18:38:06 GMT

hello all - I wanted to give a bit of a report on all the amazing abandoned spaces I'd seen when I was in Turkey last month. There is a rather sad aspect to all the forgotten structures - they are relics of earthquakes, many of them. Also, it seems that there are so many different hoursing standards in the country that areas can consist of groupings of architecture spanning the time of a few hundred years if not more. Near my hotel in Sultanahmet (the old city, and the most touristy spot) even walking down a few yards from a very habited area, one is suddenly struck by caved in buildings that are in a strange state of either being fully abandoned, or SLOWLY rebuilt... because of all the dogs and cats that inhabit the city, there is always one or two wandering around.
To the residents of the city, I think they see these spots as eye-sores, but of course they are amazingly beautiful and poetic.

I stumbled upon this new tribe in a search, and I'm glad it's here! I hope to post some pics very soon - and look at others'. There is an amazing poetry within abandoned spaces that more should enjoy.

The resources are very useful

Toronto is losing its historical buildings and the only way they can be remembered is by photography. This is going to be true with all abandoned places.
