Yeah but the people in town are happy about it. Looks like it will be torn down by the end of next year.

So what you're saying is, we need to get inside that place some time in 2014 before it's gone. Okay, fine. Stop pulling my arm! Your peer pressure is too much for me!

That DOES suck for the lost jobs. It is an extremely poor area, that can't afford to lose something that provided so much to the community. I drive through there often, and it's a depressing area. But, it is full of pretty neat UE finds and the people seem genuinely nice.

There is going to be a crew there past the closing at the end of this year. They will be doing clean-up, etc.

New to the forums (and relatively new to UrbEx in general).
Anyway, went last night but I didn't get all the way to the top of the stack, should I post the pics?

Sure and Welcome.
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

Thanks!
Actually, I'm not exactly sure how to post the pictures, but here's a link to the Google Drive folder I uploaded them to: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... =drive_web

Haha because of the graininess, the blur in some of them, or the heights?
