Wow, very nice, man! That is one cool place, and looks like it's been empty for a while. Nice vid.

And those are mold deposits not stalags from roof/ceilings. Constant extreme temps coupled with either elevation or subterfuge (re. Low density local) equates stalags in specific enviorn. Have to have sample to see chem. Comp. But very interes. That all are most same shape (long thin cylindrical etc...)

Wow....I grew up here w my older sister and brother.....my parents have pics of some of these places when they first moved here from Europe was amazing and full of life! My best friends parents still live on 3rd and Tyler. Very neat (and sad) to watch. My old school and church; Blessed Sacrament just (church part) closed down few yrs back...I swear I can still hear them same birds....

Then there was dozens of workers, hundreds of customers, thousands of letters. Countless hours of happiness, and a community.

Then one day came instant messaging.

Now we got dozens of places like this,

This is the result of the equation, hundreds of cities going under, thousands on the streets, no communities(but the fake virtual) and countless depressing hours.

Between now and them....whats your choice?

@streetskolla I missed it the first time (over a year ago) I visited Gary, too. Awesome inside - especially how trees and other plants are growing inside the building.

@mrdave777 Thanks and LOL. Yeah, I wear flip flops 99% of the time, but I decided to play it safe and wear shoes here. :D

why does this remind me of portal 2 ... oh wait

[slworking2]

@1638490 I think a lot of video games like Portal 2 are inspired by abandoned places like this.
