lol you like em shitty huh? Damn pigeons.

I've been in/on top of some such structures, but nothing very small. I've seen stairs and ladders (or entire mills) that got torn-down or scrapped, and some with moldy grain dust in the air...

thats bad ass. how do the interiors typically look? is there any cool remnants or is it typically just an empty space covered in bird shat?

A bit of a drive from St. Louis (near Rocheport), but you would probably like this one.

If you like 'em shitty/scary, that's a good one. Also there's tons to see inside and floors to fall to your death through. It's not around here but also not like super far away.
