as cool as some of these places are one of the problems with squatting them is the lack of access to things like food and water nearby. for instance the ghost towns or abandoned plantations might seem super dope but i doubt anyone would enjoy a 30+ mile walk to just find somewhere to buy bread. i guess if you had a vehicle it would be easier but alot of these places are well known tourist/urban explorer destinations so ide deffinetly expect some unwanted visitors most likely on a weekly basis. a quick google of the hospital in st louis says it was demolished already, i wonder how many of these others are either set for demo or already torn down.

Yeah I've run into a couple of sites that list some abandoned - especially cool when I know I'm in the area and WOOT there are a couple listed - I'm excited - do a little more research and discover DRATS - either it was torn down or in the middle of demolition. hehe however I have found some viable stuff.

Ya a lot of them are demoed or unsafe. Some of them might be good spots though. I was thinking one of the plantations off the beaten path could be a cool place to live and maybe even grow some food if not many people come by

yeah, that's an excellent site that's been around longer than most urban exploration sites. i'm going to move this to our urbex section since that seems a little more appropriate.

As I say, if someone told you about the place, it may be blown up. If you found the place listed online... It's definitely blown up. Always best to find your own locations.

cities have tons, at least in more drug infested ones. jackson, ms - bham, al - nyc - savannah, ga - charleston, sc - florence, sc - so on, and so on. these are southern, but I imagine any city with a ghetto will have abandos, I've noticed a good many near train yards.
