Weekends and Urban Exploration

[sabrinageek]

Haven't felt like updating for a while..

It's been an interesting few weeks/weekends.. I'll post other stuff in other threads for separation.

2 Weekends ago, I left straight from work on Saturday to drive up to Kenosha to hang out with wooisme and stormdog. Saturday night we went to the drive-in theater in Kenosha, and saw Spiderman 3 and Ghost Rider as the ultimate geek double-feature orgasm.

Spiderman wasn't bad, and I wouldn't mind seeing it again to try to pay more attention to it, but Ghost Rider was just cheesy goodness.. I love a movie that doesn't try to take itself too seriously and can just have fun with the fact that yes, it's a superhero movie about a guy riding a motorcycle who's demonic and flamey.

Woke up early on Sunday for the drive out to Gary, IN. Met up with posicat and took his van to Gary for urban exploration. We went to an abandoned apartment building, a church, and an old abandoned factory. I'm amazed that Gary is so deserted and derelict.. It's like "Detroit-lite" or like walking around a post-apocalyptic city... or Bordertown. Anyways, I took pics, I'll put most of 'em under a cut.

But first, a group shot of us! (Yes, I look HUGE. I blame the angle.)

The Church is most lovely fine and the views of broken walls through broken walls made this one catch her breath. Could they be played with into sepia or black and white maybe?

It is good to read that you are out and playing. Thank you for sending along images.

it's a too small world.

This is Trevor,from bordertown. I wish I'd known you were coming to Kenosha,cause I live there. Be nice to finally meet someone from the B-town list. Also,you know Posi? I've known him for years,since before he and Data got hitched.Does this mean in someway we might have already met and not known? How bizarre...
