Exploring News: Nautical Subway NUMTOTs

DeBlasios Water World
DeBlasio’s DEP is doing an absolutely amazing job on the Upper West Side, where for the third time in just a few weeks, a water main cracked open. According to unnamed sources at ‘Transportation Alternatives”, this latest break is just a test for DeBlasio & TA’s summer plan to flood the streets so commuters can Stand Up Paddleboard their way to work. TA will finally get all those car free streets they’ve been whining about! All subways will be replaced with submarine services, with new subs purchases from some random ass real estate developer friend of DeBlasio. It’s all a part of DeBlasio’s relentless campaign to drown poor New Yorkers, do nothing about the rampant over-development on our shorelines, and to ensure that NYC does absolutely nothing about climate change.

Chicagoland Stuff
The olde’ abandoned Tinley Park hospital remains a sore point for it’s neighbors, who are showing no signs of letting up with their complaints about this location.

Gary Indiana is still lurching forward with plans to demolish its large inventory of abandoned school buildings.

Legal Beagle:
When you’re out doing crime, leave your phone at home. No one should be surprised that the Feds bought data tracking from cell service providers in order to track border smugglers. If you want to do crime, make your plans ahead of time. Leave your phone at home. If anything carry a disposable phone you paid for with cash (other payments will tie you direct to the phone). In theory, your phone being home or maybe carried by someone not doing crime could be evidence that you were in fact not doing crime ๐Ÿ™‚

Meanwhile, up in Boston, a federal judge has ruled that yes, you can record any and all interactions with the police. This is where that disposable phone with recording capability comes in.

ASS: Assorted Subway Shenanigans
New NYPD Chief Dermont Shea has apparently finally realized what literally everyone knows: The people graffiti bombing NYC subways are overseas writers, who come to town for a little Spray-Cation.

The MTA is claiming that last month’s FTP (FUCK THE POLICE) protest caused over $100k in damage. Yet in an epic clapback, Socialist State Senator Julia Salazar pointed out that taxpayers had to cover the NYPD’s epic $230 Million dollar lawsuit tab in 2018. Slay Queen!

The unusual story of Jersey City’s reclaimed abandoned Cemetery.
This is an excellent article on the formerly abandoned Jersey City and Harsimus cemetery, including how the caretaker literally moved onto the property. There’s even a photo of a mega-chonk cemetery cat!

Shorties:
I guess Philadelphia cops are reading this newsletter because a day after we published last week, they came to the realization that their headless man on a subway car was probably a train surfer.

There is an abandoned office building in Trumball, CT for anyone who wants to go right now before it gets blown up on the internet. Oh, oops. Recent rumor is that it’s set to be demoed soon.

The former Belcher Town hospital site up Mass. took one more step towards redevelopment last week. I visited this place while it was a ‘bando ten years ago and was completely unimpressed.

Boulder City (NV) is still trying to figure out what to do with it’s old abandoned water treatment plant. Boulder is also trying to figure out what to do with it’s homeless people, at least one of whom was found living in an abandoned mine shaft.

Bridgeport (CT) is still attempting to clean up the old Remington Arms factory, this time giving contractors a tour and noodling on idea how to best re-purpose the space.

Middletown, Ohio indicted the homeless man who accidentally started that epic ‘bando blaze we reported on a few weeks back.

Two idiot brothers in South Dakota are facing many years in jail for their little ‘bando arson spree last autumn.

Bando BBQ!
Third time is the charm for the perpetually burning Yakima nursing home. The owner will finally be hiring security guards to put an end to this arson spree.

Another homeless person in Vegas was needlessly killed when the ‘bando he was sleeping in caught fire.

An ugly little abandoned retail spot in the burbs of Knoxville burned to the ground. With a fully involved fire and a fire station just up the road, it’s pretty clear an arsonist went at it.

International Update
London’s former Mole Man house, complete with numerous tunnels spreading out under nearby streets, has been revamped. Unfortunately the tunnels were sealed, so really, who the fuck would buy this thing?

Two abandoned churches in Liverpool are about to meet their maker.

A brand new school building in India was severely looted, after it sat a few months unguarded and unused.

Don’t do ladders alone breaking into ‘bandos at 3PM ACTUAL DIED! Honestly, even at 61 years of age, I’d want to climb a ladder and get in that weird ass ‘bando. Ooooo I’m gunna get up in that shit.

Sounds like some rat-shit serbian nationalist goons are on a bender kicking migrants (and an NGO trying to feed them) out of an abandoned factory in Sid. This is apparently not the first time this has happened. What a sad, gross example of humanity these tyrants are. There are entire ghost towns in Serbia with plenty of abandoned house. Migrants could repopulate those areas, but clearly this country rather remain in it’s death spiral.

For a much better story, check out this crew rescuing dogs in Bulgarian ‘bandos.

Paris isn’t the only place with Catacombs full of dead people. London has some too, which were located under churches that were bombed by the nazis in WW2.

AND THAT’S A WRAP.
Where the fuck is winter? F u c k this fake ass, rainy cloudy garbage rat soup shit motherfucking weather!

NOTE: It sometimes takes a short while for comments to be approved - unfortunately there's a lot of spam comments that come in. I absolutely love when y'all share personal stories of friends relatives etc who worked in these places. It really helps capture what these places were like before they closed up shop.

If you're feeling salty, argumentative comments completely devoid of facts (supply links to support your argument) will not be published. Got a case to state? come with the details.
