Vacant St. Louis Schools

Post by SubLunar »

Courtesy of the Post Dispatch, we not only have relevant security information, but a complete map as well. The article provides some very useful info.

I've been compiling my own list for some time, so it's rather convenient of them to do the research for us! Get cracking, Saint Louis.

Here is the list I had been working on prior to seeing this article:
Accessibility is unknown; I have not explored any of the schools on my list, although I have performed at least a walkaround on most of them.

P.S. You're welcome!

Be aware that the article was about how people trying to steal copper were breaking into those schools. So I'd expect there to be a higher police presence, and perhaps even cameras overlooking the schools. Who would be monitoring them, if anyone, is the question.

should explore some of those before they're gone. I'd be more concerned about crackheads than cops

More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

FYI Hogden won't be around much longer. I walked around it once, found a way in to an outbuilding but the main building eluded me at the time.

Anyone been to Central High recently? If the windows aren't boarded up, then security is probably lax or nonexistent. And the place is huge.

Sub, I'm thinking it's about time to try to contact that truck dealership about getting permission to go into that locked and alarmed school. If I can, you wanna go too?

This one has been on my list for a long time but I haven't found a way in and every time I go around there I see at least one cop.
