Anyone here ever done anything like this or know of any good sites/forums? I stumbled upon this site last week and some of the pictures of this shit is awesome. I have been looking for information about this place for a couple of years now: [http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/ristorante\_della\_trattoria.htm](http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/ristorante_della_trattoria.htm) I also remember checking out the Armstrong Cork Building before they renovated it, but unfortunately I didn’t get any pics. ---

that building is sweet. I would move right in and leave the graphitti up for my decor. It could be a pretty sweet house with a nice contemporary feel. ---

I always wanted a concrete loft-style crib, similar to that in the movie The Fly! ---

There’s an abandoned sewing factory near my house that I should get pics of. Sewing machines are still there. Just looks like they shut the doors. Shut down in the mid 70s. ---

As I had in another thread (Haunted Houses maybe?) theres an abandoned hospital close to St Clair Hospital in which a ton of shit is still there. Its probably one of the sweetest places to play paintball and/or shoot roman candles down a hallway. ---

> [@FS \*something different\*](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-something-different/33886/4): > > im going to find that place tomorrow Top of the Duquesne Incline in Mt. Washington. You can walk down and see the pillars where there used to be a parking garage. The thing that fascinated me most was the architecture. The building doesn’t look very old and I’m baffled as to why it was not successful and why it was abandoned considering the value of a restaurant on Mt. Washington. Definitely a cool place. You can walk around the side and look up at the front of it which is really eerie. ---

the pictures are great! If I had an interest in photography I know of a few places that would be worth looking at. ---
