Forbidden Places Guestbook

Totally awesome new pictures Great colors, and a very awesome location. Would love to explore it myself...

Very nice pictures !
I doesn't know that there are so many abandoned buildings in the world
I will recommend this page

I have been searching for abandoned photographs that have soul and feeling...you have managed to capture both! No one seems to understand my fascination with these pictures or why I plan to hang them in my home...must be my Nordic heritage and attraction to all things modern or different. I am so happy that I found this website. I will most certainly be ordering photographs from you.

Very impressive and fascinating photographs. I will revisit your site soon.

I was born in Puerto Rico but I grew up in Gary in the 1950's and 1960's. I have the fondest memories of my living there. I attended Holy Trinity School and then Froebel School and lived on 11th and Jackson. Everyone was kind and alwasys spoke to each other. My mother worked in Chicago so the commute took it's toll on her and we moved to Chicago so that she could be closer to her job. I remember riding the South Shore Train and my Godfather would pick me up from the train station on Broadway. All my friends are now in living in different locations, but those of us who stay in touch reminisce about the good times we had while growing up there. It is sad to see the pictures of all the buildings especially the ones of Methodist Church. It was a beautiful church in it's day. I did enjoy seeing the video on Youtube because that was a video of a city that was alive. Thank you so much for the memories!

In 1990 or so, there was an old, ornate theater along Sheridan Road in Chicago that was going to be demolished and I went in and photographed the insides, a construction worker let me in. It is almost indescribable how beautiful it was in its decay. Your photos somehow capture the grandure of these old buildings in a way that is so bitter sweet. Thank you for your work and your love of these old buildings. Just beautiful.

I GREW UP BY SOME OF YOU... 44TH AND GEORGIA... RILEY, BAILLY AND LEW WALLACE 1973... DAD TAUGHT IN THE GARY SCHOOL SYSTEM... REMEMBER TIGER THE UMP ON THE LITTLE LEAGUE FIELDS? GREAT MEMORIES... THEY WILL NEVER DIE... LIKE GARY DID!

Nice shots i liked all
I suggest to go near Milan to the old "innocenti" car factory, u can find an interesting old factory.
Thank you for your nice amazing work.

Greetings from the wasteland of Oregon. We have been infiltrating abandoned sites here for almost 10 years now. Recently, we've utilized many of these locations - with owner permission, to film our pilot web series, "Lady Wasteland". It's a post-apocalyptic story about a woman searching for the six killers who murdered her best friend. Currently, we're prepping to relaunch the series with 10 new episodes. Please feel free to check out the site and let us know what you think.

Also, if you come across any abandoned locations here in Oregon... please let us know.

Thanks,

Excellent, interesting and exceptional photographs it is worthwhile spending places here more of time.. Willingly I will peek and I will recommend this side at myself.

Love your photos, check us out if you get a chance www.slackninja.com

I love seeing that at some points in history people actually gave a crap how architecture looked. It pains me to see some of these places fade into oblivion. Why is it that buildings today can't be functional AND pleasing to the eye? Thank you for documenting some epic locations.

Hi, for a week now, since I've found this site, I'm totally fascinated about your photos and the whole project. This is amazing, I love the beauty of these wonderful places. It's like diving into another time... As I was a child, I wanted to go into the ruin of an old mill in Germany near my home town, it's called Hildebrandsche Muehle in Weinheim. Here you can take a look at it, and this is what I can find for information. A crazy story: there is a lot of trouble in town because of the idea to establish a bo*rd*ell*o in a side building of it... Could this mill be of interest to you?
Ah, and I want to say Thank You for sharing all your wonderful art photography with us!!

I was fascinated by Gary Indiana. Can it be creepier than Detroit? Keep up the great photography.
Cheers

Excellent and fascinating website.
Best compliments for sharing with the visitors the splendid result of your huge work.

I from Moscow. Your Moscow colleague. I very much liked your site. We, the Moscow underground researchers, have too a resource http://diggers.su and the basic forum http://diggers.su/forum

Hello everyone.....I was looking at the pictures today and reading your comments. It took me on a walk down memory lane. My heart is sick seeing the beautiful Palace Theater. Wow, it was so beautiful and I took would take the bus to the theater or out to Miller Beach when I was 10.
I am from Brunswick like some of you. And I lived on 11th and Porter. I remember playing hide and seek and kick the can. And yes being free to run and play even in the evening. The world is no longer a safe place for children.
Very fond memories of Gary, Ivanhoe Elementary and Edison High School
God Bless, Kathy

Oh my god is all I can say! I wish so much to have the chance to be able to explore any part of this.

I am from Chicago, USA and will be in Paris from now until September 7th.

Is there any way you could put me in contact with someone to go down with or tell me some tips if its possible to do it myself? (And safe of course) I know people have trashed some areas and some people get upset with this. I understand. I would go down on a trash clean up expedition if this would be good? Let me know? I am excited by the fact of these tunnels existance!

Thank you so much.
