With the help of Jennik and 52merk, this light has been identified as the Grand Island East Channel Light near Munising, MI. It was built, according to 52merk in 1868 and abandoned more than a 100 years ago. For more info check this link provided by 52merk.

Made the early morning trek up to Philly to see this go down. I got there about an hour before it went down and staked out a spot. I was the first person on the block but even minutes after I got there people began to pour into the streets. I got a better spot for my video camera than even the lady from Controlled Demolition International (the people bringing down the stack) did. She was probably pissed. They did a poor job of giving people a signal when this was going to go down. The news said 7:30. Than the CDI lady said 7:45. It actually went down around 7:47. They usually let off a siren or something when it is about to happen but they didn't do anything. My video camera was acting up about 6 seconds before this happened and thankfully it started filming right at this second. I didn't even have to edit this video at all. It was perfect timing...



While I was waiting I saw something that looked like a giant rat go under this Jeep. Some people and I walked over to take a look. We saw it was an opossum. Later on the opossum walked across the street through the crowd of people and dug under the fence and started walking towards the implosion. I don't think he even made it to the tracks but wherever he was I'm sure he got a rude awakening.

I have been watching this community for quite some time and have finally decided to post my pictures from an abandoned dairy. Hope you enjoy!

I saw trucks pulled up at On's Eggroll retaurant and guys standing in the door talking. Anybody know if it's finally going to be repaired?

Here has visited one more thrown school. Certainly some can not like a state, in comparison with last is worse... But also in this there is a snap. Any autumn spirit when you look out of a beaten window and you see orange-red trees and when so the sun beautifully sits down... Much all school, any figures, posters, a heap of school desks, chairs, sports hall and many other things in this report.

I love this place and I visited this again) Now still a horse and carriage court yard. Plus sorts of a palace, lakes and one more building nearby to manor.

Hi all!

Here some pics from a glass factory near Cuneo.
It closed down in the early 80's..Huge place in the heart of town.
People there say it might be demolished pretty soon....

If this is not appropriate, I will hastily delete. I don't have much opportunity to explore abandoned places, but I really enjoy all of the wonderful photos the members of this community have posted.

I was wondering, for any of you members in and around Philly, if anyone happened to catch the implosion of the Philly PRR steam plant yesterday? I was hoping to find a video of it or something but haven't had any luck.

Thank you in advance!

And here is a very small contribution (like I said, I don't have much opportunity to explore abandoned places...which sucks!), just so this isn't text-only.

This is a house I pass on the bike path I ride on. I've been trying to summon up the courage to get a bit closer, but it's kind of out in the open and since I'm usually alone on my bike trips, haven't been brave enough.



It's unfortunate that LiveJournal and this community didn't exist in the mid-90s. On the street I grew up on in rural South Jersey there was an abandoned house. The first couple of years we lived there, it was inhabited by a reclusive older man who had apparently lived there for a very long time. One day in 1995 he just up and left...practically disappeared. My brothers, our neighbors and I would explore the house. It was pretty crazy, the house seemed to be stuck in time. It was decorated in that 60s-70s style of orange, green, and yellow, and had a retro TV and kitchen appliances. Even older spice bottles from maybe the 70s. The man had literally left pretty much everything in the house...we found old phone books, bills, letters, postcards, and church bulletins. There was even an old car in the garage in the back yard. I'm not sure if the car ran, but someone stole it, somehow. The neighborhood kids (myself included) pretty much destroyed the house, which I regretted for a long time. My best friend's brother and his friends turned it into a home base for playing paintball, since the house was surrounded by woods.

They tore down the house several years ago to develop the land, which was pretty sad. My stepmother, around 1996 or 97, even attempted to contact someone to find out about buying the house, but never got a response.

Yeah, while it's not much of a surprise, the first-time home buyer's credit was extended and expanded. You can read more about it at U.S. News and World Report, but the S.-centric summary is, I now can take advantage of it when I buy a house (the raising of the income limits was also a nice touch).

Baxt,

Поскольку иногда в поездки по заброшкам мы берём с собой видеокамеру, то у нас помимо фотографий сохраняются и видеоматериалы. Представляю вашему вниманию небольшой видеоролик, в котором использованы фрагменты наших поездок по заброшенным местам Питера и Лен.Области. Называть объекты не буду, но здесь их достаточно много.
