‘Bando News and Messy Views
Bandos in KC and STL are crumbling into dust. In St. Louis, part of an abandoned church collapsed—one of dozens of north STL structures to fail… This is quite literally America: where people are denied homes and buildings that could be put to use are left to literally crumble.

Sounds like an abandoned mall in Detroit is about to be demolished but the idiots at Crain’s Business think you should subscribe to read just this one article yeah no. Nope. Nyet.

This Liverpool restaurant is doing more to fight Fatbergs than you me and your abuela combined.

There are apparently some well guarded abandoned homes on the beach in South Carolina, just waiting for their turn to fall into the sea.

People in Kansas City are taking over old abandoned homes and returning them to housing. On paper this sounds awesome—I just hope that’s the reality in practice too.

This dude who had part of an abandoned building fall onto his house is the most married guy I’ve ever heard speak to the media. I literally cannot believe his wife allowed him to talk to the press. The played out dad vibes here are so strong they should come with a warning label.

URBEXORZ go into SICK Building in the UK. WOW.

CHAKA.

New Tunnel Smell
Literally WHAT THE FUCK India? Check out this video of some dude with a tunnel network under his bed. Honestly I gotta question if this wasn’t just a clever video edit because seriously WHAT THE FUCK.

Hey who doesn’t need a secret p*ssy tunnel in their home to go hide and think in…

If you’re just looking for some actual new tunnel news, here you go: “Skanska has signed a contract with the Agency for Water and Sewage in Oslo Municipality to construct a raw water tunnel between Hole municipality and Oslo, Norway.” I want to get into some holes in Oslo. 😛 Also, say it with me out loud: SKANSKA! Yell it out the window and piss off your neighbors. That and CHAKA! Better still: name your first born child (or maybe just a cat) CHAKA SKANSKA!

‘Bando Building BBQ – Hobo Hell Edition.
Texarkana, Arkansas is apparently full of abandoned storefronts that keep magically catching fire maybe it’s not humans maybe it’s god repent you bible-licking fools!

The historic H.G. Wade Warehouse in San Jose burned to the ground last week. It had sat as a vacant ‘bando for quite some time until PeePee Boy Ian showed up.

I feel like I reported on this abandoned school in Petersburg SC that someone torched recently but hell if I didn’t, here you go.

Batteries blowing up in a northern Illinois bando just makes so much sense.

Them arsonists in San Antonio are still having their fun. Clearly they win this week’s round, as we ain’t got no Fresno fires to report.

And that’s a wrap…
Sometimes I think back to post 9/11 NYC and how me and my homies were the only ones to seriously keep exploring here. What a weird ass time that was…

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.
