New Squat in Rockford needs kids!

[Mady]

We are looking for kids to come out and share this wonderful place with us during the summer, otherwise we are probably going to have to leave it behind! There is TONS of room, and well take in as many kids at we can! This is a drug/alchohol free squat, so no tweekers please. If we dont get enough people anyone is welcome to take it for themselves. Its in Rockford, an hour or so outside chicago. Extremly isolated (No neighbors) Sorounded in a small forest, and even has like 3 litte garage things. 3 storys. Its off I-90. It also has ELECTRICITY! Which means a working stove, and space heaters ! Lights all work, fully furnished, tons of old shit to dig through. Surplus of blankets and stuff! Contact me or Deed Klepto for details. There is also a ton of picture of it in the Album section on the second page.

So I ran into Deeds in Portland a couple months ago and I'm assuming this is the same squat thing she was talking about then..

She basically said that someone got wind of it and came out to help a few times, then started bringing sketchy friends who eventually had parties out there. The kids trashed the place in a really crappy way (spray paint, food on walls, broken windows, etc..). Sooner rather than later if I remember correctly the cops showed up at a party, the landlord was notified and he had the place dozed.

Sad story, sounds like it was an awesome place.

 

[vagabond]

god fucking damn it. that's terrible.

 

[Eddie]

Can you tell me where this place is? Was the electricity still on when you left?

 

[BrokeWhiteBoy]

GAH! WHY? Gone?! I'm planning a trip to Rockford to meet up with a friend. This woulda been cool.

 

[moe]

anything else out in rockford, i would kinda like to head out west, and shit

 

[Deed Klepto]

Yea, Macs has the whole story correct. Thats exactly what happened. The place no longer exists. The electricity was on until the day the landlord found out. There is stuff out in Rockford that is Squat-able. PM me and I will let you know.
