5PTZ
Yet another court has backed the artists who sued owner Jimmy Wolkoff for his destruction of their artwork at the former 5ptz factory in LIC. NYC Lost a historic, internationally recognized attraction when 5ptz was destroyed, and Wolkoff should pony up every last penny.

BQE Tunnel Sociopaths
The NYC City Council is trying to figure out what to do with the crumbling BQE structure that wraps around the Brooklyn waterfont. The latest plan is to potentially put it in a tunnel, though the price tag would be in the billions. Meanwhile, politicians are all like “Yay let’s close the whole thing and ‘break car culture'”.

Uh, yeah ok people. Let’s take cars off a highway, where they are contained, and push them onto city streets, because that’ll be safer? The smartest thing to do here would be to build a tunnel, but these over-inflated estimates and demands from politically connected construction companies seem designed to prevent the safest, most common-sense design (a tunnel) from being completed. Besides, NYC Explorers need more new tunnels to explore. Make it so.

The Boner Building
Philly’s long abandoned Boner 4Ever building, (aka the Beury Building), is set to be revamped. After an outcry by locals, the owners of the building are now claiming they might incorporate or keep the graffiti on the building. Seems dubious, but who knows. Hey if the graffiti does get wiped out, Boner and 4eva should sue.

ASS: Assorted Subway Shenanigans
The MTA is still naively fumbling around in their 1980/1990ss beliefs about discredited ‘broken windows’ and cracking down on graffiti. Just fucken legalize it. Tourists will flock to NYC to see these trains running.

Some dude tried to jump off the abandoned upper level at Myrtle Ave onto a moving J train, I guess so followers could like comment and subscribe? He survived a fall between cars, but nearly lost a foot in the process. I don’t know dude, sounds like a bad ROI. YouTube or IG fame ain’t gunna buy you a new foot.

To the surprise of No One, the MTA could have easily made more subway stations accessible to the disabled by now. They just won’t though, because CUOMO.

OMG PROTECT OUR PRECIOUS THEME PARKS!
People who are obsessed with theme parks are very, very odd people to say the least. One might go so far as to argue they are the very worst of humanity, and this story really adds fuel to that fire.

Last week, a news site dedicated to theme parks (how is this even a thing?!) discovered that there are Urban Explorers who have gone out of their way to sneak into ‘off limits’ areas at some parks. They got all offended at the owner of one YouTube channel that hosts these videos, which quickly lead to ‘investigators’ (Snitches) at an Orlando based news channel snitching to YouTube. The result, of course, is that his channel has been ‘demonetized‘. For whatever it’s worth, this guy had under 30k subscribers. He probably made like $2.31 off those videos.

It also just goes to show that these corporate owned mega platforms are more than happy to Yeet anyone, for any content, at any time. How the fuck do they go throwing this guy off YouTube when there are dozens of better known channels all built using content that resulted from ‘illegal activity’? That’s some hypocritical shit. As for the theme park obsessed weirdos… wow. Go rub one off to some Disney princess or something.

Shorties:
A small cave in Kansas City was recently reopened and now explorers want it kept accessible.

The leaning tower of Dallas is the architecture Texas deserves.

A large abandoned building in East Orange, NJ collapsed last week in very dramatic fashion. Fortunately no one was killed in this incident.

In Upstate New York, a 90 year old woman owns a big bando and is like nah fuck you motherfuckers I ain’t got money or time to fix that shit.

It’s Exploding Manhole season.

Bando BBQ
An abandoned dog food factory in Wichita, Kansas had a major fire last week. Apparently this isn’t the first time either, so if you’re looking to explore that joint, ya’ time might be short mon.

International Update
One Canadian city is sooooo annoyed at abandoned buildings and Urbexors that they’re going to try to impose a registration fee on building owners. The story has a bunch of fun info on exploring in Ontario, so yeah, it’s worth a read. 🙂

AND THAT’S A WRAP
These days all we hear from pundits is “How are you going to pay for it?!!?!”. Easy. We’re going to point a gun at Jeff Bezo’s stupid head, and mug him. Your money or your life bish. And then we’re going to stop and frisk Bloomberg every time he leaves his stupid fancy ass upper east side townhouse, picking through his wallet and taking his cash just like his cops always did. Up against the wall motherfucker! Oooooh and Trump… Oh yeah… I can’t wait to go throw his golden toilet off the roof of Drumpf Tower.

Comments

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.
