We were out of town to catch up with some of our new exploring friends and “Rita” happened to find some industry near our hotel. Being the early risers we are, we got up and after it. A few cups of coffee later and we were parking our vehicle and looking for an entry point. What follows is us documenting this place that held so many unexpected memories for me, and hints of a vanished industrial business all around!
Each site we explore is so unique. You never know if or how a site will affect you. We started with old industrial buildings, so they will always hold a special place in my heart, but it seems to have been deeper than that for me. I hadn’t really put my finger on it until this explore. It wasn’t till the scents of “this” place flooded me with all those memories from childhood.
This place reminded me of my father and most of the places he ever worked. The sights, smells, and imagined sounds of this shop floor were a microcosm of my childhood memories. Each room we walked through, had me reminded of him at different times and places. The more I was reminded of him, the more I missed him. He has been gone 56 months today, and the way Covid messed with time, it seems like just yesterday. I wish he was here to see and hear about all our crazy adventures. Hug and appreciate your loved ones, even if there is a bit of a rift. It is all small in the grand scheme of things! There is no time like the present to make amends.
While this place was largely free from graffiti, the graffiti that was there was colorful and fun! Even the paintings of Pinky & The Brain reminded me of times spent with my father. I honestly couldn’t go further than 15′ without thinking of him! This explore wasn’t super detailed or in-depth, it was a great way to start a vacation weekend of exploring! The adventures we got into on this weekend alone can carry this site for a bit of time! Stay Tuned
