I thought it was only me with a fetish for dilapidation. The Aral sea is pretty interesting to, as it also involves loads of ace shipwrecks.

oh no shit east coast terminal - i used to skate that place all the time 1999-2001'ish. they used to have beast of the east contests there. fucking ruled but i heard they ended because they were charging like 15 dollar sessions.

I didn't live here when it was opened. The place is condemned now. Ramps and shit rotting in piles in the back.
I keep looking for the pics I have of them. The cops sit out front for hours on end cuz people still skate around
the debris, and tag the building.
Another good forum about abandoned buildings is called:

In the 70's a man, Johnny Bob Harrell, founded the Christian-Patriots Defense League, an anti-Semitic survivalist group involved in paramilitary activity and "martial arts" training.. These "Christian Corps" were training and preparing for guerilla warfare against a christ-hating conspricacy. He established a 55 acre, tax-exempt church in my hometown of Louisville, Illinois. Pretty big deal considering my hometown consists of 1300 people. He would allow people to stay there and they would work for him (kinda creepy in that Jonestown kinda way). He was generally hated from what i've heard (most of this town is made up of very conservative farm folk). He was eventually accused of being a communist and eventually went into hiding, but his place still exists. Apparently it's a replica of George Washington's place. He doesn't live there and his brother goes there rarely to check up on it.

It's just crazy the amount of shit this guy owns. He has trailer after trailer behind his mansion, each of them dedicated to one certain item (one is just FULL of newspapers). Kids used to break into it constantly, which I can highly blame them, it's like the ultimate thrift store and he doesn't seem to mind - the key to the place hasn't moved in years. Plenty of old cars sitting out front, a plane in the back, and a very large boat falling apart. He also keeps the radio on blaring at all times, possibly to try to scare off trespassers?

Sorry for the history lesson. I just think it's cool. A photo:

I wish I lived near there. I would take a look. That really does look like Mt. Vernon.
Here is a temporary video of the house shown above with the Endicott Johnson
"skateboarders" shoe box:
I couldnt really think in the blazing heat yesterday,...so it aint great,
but it's only 30 seconds.

when i was younger me and my friends would play in this huge abandoned home and garden type of place, we'd skate, goof around, smash lights, break windows and smoke a ton of weed in there then one day a bum was hanging out iin there and he threatened us with a broken bottle and we never came back

I didn't do any live video, it was dark as hell. I am working on some of the photos...here are a few.
Somewhere I have a really gay piece of graffiti that says something like "skateboarding rulez" or something LIKE that:
but here are a few stills for now. This place was fantastic:

as clean as this game room looks, the whole room almost collapsed under me, major flood damage:

sand from one of the stage curtain sand bags all over the floor:

thank you for bringing this back. i took an urban geography class and we spent alot of time on urban decay, focusing alot on detroit and gary indiana. i was siked cause growing up we would always explore buildings trying to build little skateparks, always stumbling upon some bums smoking crack and various other things we should have had no business with at 14 years old. we once built a little park in a part of an abandoned mall and found an old liquor store in there with a bunch of bottles of booze still in there. we were young and didnt really drink much then so we just smashed a shit load of them, then we took a bunch and layed them on a bums bed that we found on the other side of the building, though i'm sure he knew about it and had been drinking out of there for a while.

apparently in detroit there are just entire blocks of abandoned neighborhoods.

true, but then your stuck paying the property taxes, making it a bit less appealing

Weird. A friend of mine in NY just went and shot photos of one of the hotels last month. I'll link them in a bit.
