GTW NYC
This location is just a part
of a much larger complex of warehouse buildings, one of which was
previously inspected and posted about here.
For years, ever since I first pasted by it in the late 1990's, parts
of this location were both active and secured. The place has been
use for photo and film shoots. GQ magazine recently used the place.
8mm, a movie with Nichalos Cage, also used this setting. Once behind
the gates, entering the buildings is child's play. All the doors are
either unlocked or have been smashed in rather violently. Indeed,
one area looks like it was attacked by fighter jets. I haven't seen
a street so smashed and obliterated since the south bronx was on fire
in the late 70's. Shocking but true though is the fact that this location
is considered good real estate and has been appraised by a few companies
for as low as $3 million and as high as $12.
It is one of the last, if not the last, large scale industrial space
in NYC that has not been redeveloped. |
Peeping the gate
The street view of just a portion of this complex.
Heh heh. Willie. Apparently Willie was a drunk, as the Beatle Bailey
comics on the locker denoted the Sarge as Wille, Drinking lots of
beer.
A nother locker contained both an image of Jesus and many newspaper
clipped photos of women in 50's style bikini's in fashion shows (weighing
about 15 pounds more than what models today are... Shit... give me
one of them over the stick figure ethic of today...
Nice of them to leave some lights on for us....
Warehouse space. I love the old metal doors...
Finally finding a way to the roof, one can take in this view. photo
is extra long exposure since it was pitch black except for the skyline.
Oh wait, I forgot, i should be more worried about "dead pixels"
than actual results? (poke, poke!)

Security cameras? Dogs? Really? I like both... do you mind if I see
for myself?
The abandoned street view. Light in the distance is only about halfway
back out to the active street.
There is no light here. Just large, dark, crumbling structures and
a pier that once hosted a fire boat station which seems to have long
ago sank into the east river.
Elevator's here.
Impassable steps. Worse than glenwood - and I didn't think that was
possible!
Bottle inside says "Special Ink"
The moon. the sloping pile in front of the skyline is debris and collapsed
walls from the buildings. |
