St. Aloysius Church, nunnery, and school(W/ permission) 11.20.22

When you find yourself at a city council meeting, always keep your ears open for opportunities. As an urban explorer, life is really about finding and creating opportunities to access or gain access to sites through any and all means!! If you look back to the first day I posted anything on to DecadesofDecay.com you … Read more

WWII Monument that shouldn’t exist…. 6.19.22

When I first heard about this monument in southeastern Wisconsin, I didn’t believe it was real. I mean, how could it be real? If it was actually real, how was it still standing today? These are all things I had to find out. Being of European origins, heavily German, this monument blew my mind. It … Read more

St Coletta’s 5.7.22 (we have lapped ourselves) now with my partner in UE.

Holy shizzle-snacks! It looks like I have done almost no exploring in the last year, and for that I blame only myself and my depression. (1)Exploring makes me happy (2)There is abandoned shit almost everywhere… “Get the fuck out and explore” (SCREAMED my brain) MORE EXPLORES SOON Also I still have a couple posts left … Read more

St. Coletta 5.1.22

Clearly I have a problem with starting most of my posts with “So”. I am going to try and avoid that. The way I explore is heavily ocd and adhd based, I see it or think about it, and it has to happen… Right as spring started last year, I saw a post on an … Read more

Northridge Mall 12.31.21

Northridge Mall 12.18.21

So on a random Friday morning in Dec 2021 I saw parts of an industrial building being ripped down. Since we recently had such luck with Motor Castings, I figured stick to industrial. Saturday morning came and I ventured out with my UE bag all set to go. When I got to my intended destination … Read more

Motor Castings Part 4 .. 12.12.21

So this would be our last time to Motor Casting for months, but clearly a change had started! We were greeted with many things being different. Areas were taped off with caution tape, asbestos doorway passthroughs in place, and clear signs of human interaction that hadn’t been here in the past weeks! This place was … Read more

Motor Casting part 3 12.5.21

So when I was first toying with the idea of starting urban exploration again, I posted a few “looking for” posts on facebook. Out of all my friends, only 2 people showed any real interest before the pics started to post! It just so happened that 1 of those people is a pretty damn good … Read more

Motor Castings Part 2 12.4.21

So a few days went by and I couldn’t stop thinking about going back to MC. It was like a new love. I couldn’t get her out of my mind. I decided to go alone less than 1 week later, but this time take my better camera.(not that I am any good with it).. I … Read more

Motor Castings 11.28.21 The explore that restarted it all!

So this place really did ignite a fire in me for Urban Exploration as an adult. I had gone as a child to old farm houses and cabins that had been abandoned. Even in my teens I did a little bit of UE, but mid 2021 I couldnt stop thinkin about going and finding a … Read more
