What’s The Goss?!
One Amazon driver tried to have some big d*ck energy by stuffing his big truck into a small tunnel. Bring a tow truck and a cop for this wet ass tunnel.

Last week CNN’s Anderson Cooper said “That is the President of the United States. That is the most powerful person in the world & we see him like an obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun, realizing his time is over.” Of course an artist did a great illustration of this. The 2020 trash fire has been rocket fuel for artist creativity.

Speaking of Animals, a raccoon caused a ruckus after getting stuck on a Toronto bridge. Trash Pandas love getting high.

You know a media outlet is in late-stage relevance when they only lens it views graffiti through is “Banksy”. The whole world is seeing a huge graffiti revival, with talented taggers running amuck in all cities… and the best lede the times can come up with is one naming a washed team of london writers?

Subway Antics
An unknown man was fatally struck by a 1 train last week while he walked through a Manhattan subway tunnel in the middle of the day. Mole people are back, and with the temperatures dropping, shits getting real.

For this monster sized rodent, Halloween is not over.

That New Tunnel Smell
Elon Musk’s underwhelming Boring Company might do some kind of tunnel project in Austin and I’m just like why? Will tunneling become like every other product you can buy? Cheaply made, falls apart in a few years, and made of plastic? We’re fucking around letting these capitalists into this space, and we’re going to find out…

With Amtrak Joe in the white house, it is very likely that the Gateway tunnel project might finally happen. Baruch HaShem. Us NYC tunnel explorers need some new tunnels to explore.

Shorty’s Short Shorts
Speaking of buying houses I think the BLM graff adds value to this fixer upper.

If you’re trying to escape the cops yeeting your car into a lake is pretty extreme but you might always want to, you know, not be behind the wheel when it sinks.

Yo: Check out these abandoned mines under Alabama. Top quality.

The restoration of an abandoned Fort Totten building has now won an award. Cool – now many save the other bandos in that joint, and kick out NYPD TARU. That spy agency needs to be exposed, defunded, and disbanned.

Speaking of TARU, SURPRISE! The NYPD has been gathering your phone data whenever it wants, without a warrant, for reasons that are, at best, “opaque”.

A garbage bando hotel in Florida is going to be demolished. The building was built in 1985 and is now worthless. How ridiculous is that?

Bando BBQ
It is that unfortunate time of year again when we see more ‘bando fires due to homeless people trying to stay warm. Here’s one story from Texas, and another from Cali.

An abandoned theater in Indio, CA also burned up last week.

International Update
Ew. Raw sewage slipped into the harbor of Wellington NZ after a fatberg was dislodged. Even CORK has problems with fatbergs. CORK! (I so need to go to Cork…)

LOL look at this abandoned sex work shop in the UK. CLUTCH YOUR PEARLS! And then you got explorers in an abandoned grain silo? OH MY.

And that’s a Wrap:
As always, help me write this thing: See a story? Email me (control@ltvsquad.com) a link and a line or two about it. All cred given where due. Shout out to Hannah for pointing out that huge rodent story.

Also keep an eye out for discount codes for my latest book (about exploring 5ptz—a very unique exploration tale), which should be dropping in the next two weeks!

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.
