What’s The Goss?!
Two protesters were arrested in Pittsburgh after they tried to climb up the Roberto Clemente Bridge to hang a banner. Apparently the banner read “Black Trans Lives Matter”. Totally agree. There’s something to be said for making your bridge climb matter (though there’s also something to be said for napping up there).

Speaking of protest art—Y’all seen the InDecline documentary on revolutionary art? I’ve watched about 2/3rds of it and seriously this is some really good shit. Very inspirational to see all these great voices speaking on a topic near & dear to me.

Thinking about exploring Hudson Psych? Be on the lookout for the scared ass, coward security dude who enjoys taking out his gun when existing his vehicle. How da fuck this guy working that job? He keeps that shit up people are gunna get all ByBerry in 2006 on his ass!

ASS: Assorted Subway Shenanigans
LOL Check out this unhinged transit bullshit: The NYC Ferry service (which is deeply subsidized and loses $10 per commuter) has lost their Greenpoint dock become some developer bought the property connected to the pier. Ferry service ended with no notice, and included this epic scene of a boat yelling at commuters that they were shit out of luck.

The property was bought by an Australian company. Fuck Australian ‘business’ people. They’re all greedy fucking trash. Never do business with an Australian. They can fuck all the way off.

That New Tunnel Smell
London is buying two TBM’s for upcoming tunnel projects.

NBC News is slurping on Elon Musk’s micropenis by reporting that Las Vegas has indeed approved an expansion to his zoom zoom “profound” toy car tunnel.

Maybe not a new tunnel but this western PA rail tunnel bando is slowly being reworked into a trail

Dark Day Review
Talk about a Dark Day: British troops just completed a four day training exercise in the tunnels under Gibraltar Rock. Their goal: being able to kill in complete darkness.

EAT THE LANDLORDS! YEAH BABY! GIMME THAT WAPG: Wet Ass Political Graffiti.

For SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS your family can be buried under stolen Lenape land.

Shorty’s Short Shorts
Officials in Maryland are looking to lock up one of their bridges a bit more, after two people climbed out on it contemplating suicide, fouling up traffic. Yo if you’re gunna do it just do it.

An abandoned school in Minneapolis might become a youth center and fucken duh. Should have been done a decade ago. A whole different group in New Mexico is looking to do something similar. St. Joseph Missouri is also looking into the pros and cons of just demolishing bandos.

Meanwhile, a community center in Ohio has sat abandoned for a few ages, and is soon to be torn down. Because there is no sense of community in Ohio. Every man-child, Trump flag waving tonka truck redneck for themselves!

Sunbury generating stations’ smokestacks were blown into oblivion last weekend.

The roof of an old roundhouse was blown off in East Deerfield, MA last week. These old steam era structures grow fewer and further between year over year. It’s kind of a metaphor for it’s owner, the Pan Am railroad, which is reportedly for sale and likely to be split into pieces in a capitalist orgy.

Hell is indeed a drain in New Jersey.

I’m big mad that middle school kids are getting to name this TBM. I would have named it MoleyMcRatMaster. What would you have called it?

An abandoned hotel in Mississippi might become a covid super spreader location. I mean senior center. Seriously!

There is a billionaire house in Greenwich, CT with a “secret tunnel” to a private pool and yeah I’d loot this place.

LOL TikTok loving teens invaded the abandoned Maui Sands hotel and cops wilded out, arresting eleven of them. Gotta make that quota!

Meanwhile, you can get your fill of ‘bando p0rn by checking out photos of this abandoned bowling alley in Portland or 25 abandoned hospitals around the world.

Bando BBQ
Firefighters in Tulsa are getting ready for winter’s onslaught of abandoned building fires. Sure, it’s good to prep for that but have y’all tried fixing up houses and providing homes for the homeless? (OMG LOOK it’s a coastal elite telling these idiots how to live!)

Looks like this California desert ‘bando house spontaneously combusted.

International Update
OMG SECRET POST OFFICE TUNNELS UNDER LONDON WHO COULD HAVE EVER PREDICTED SECRET TUNNELS UNDER THE UK!!!

This tunnel under Naples filled with WW2 era vehicles is kinda cool.

And that’s a Wrap:
What the fuck are we all even doing literally? That’s my mood and I’m sticking with it.

Shout out to Sarah for the HRSH hot tip.

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.
