Feel free to edit this location and add pictures. we had already started making this location when Akron suggested it and we did not want some one else to come along and make one because we would have a unfinished location lying around and have no way to delete it.

You guys get in?

no we decided we might want to try to get blueprints from city hall or something first and we are not able to do much right now.. we have got it somewhat scoped out and are on our way in.

We're curious about going in there, so if you guys ever pick a date to check it out, you should say so.

as am i...but i really couldnt tell if it was truelly abandoned..or still somewhat used.

I bet there are some bums living in there.

well in my quick drive around..i didnt see any easily accessed spots...maybe i just didnt see them...

It's completely abandoned; executive offices moved downtown, and manufacturing moved out of state.
I believe 24-hour security is still there, however.

I found me an easy way through the outer fence, but no easy access to the buildings.

What could they be protecting?
Is the site going to be saved for some other industrial use?

they protect it from us...just to piss us off

They're actually renovating...
Will soon be commercial/residental property.

I took another perimeter run tonight; found some skinny guy-sized windows broken out, but they're constantly working there; my original perimiter fence breach has been fixed in the past month, and they're moving stuff around constantly at the site...
It appears at least one or two people are there 24-7...
Mad props to anyone who can get in and get back out without being arrested...
But I've started trying to contact the development company; see if we can't get a small group in to photograph the site in its present state, before it's more or less torn down and rebuilt into apartments, Starbucks and a Barnes & Noble...

Word. Let me know if you get permission to photograph the site, I'd love to check it out.

Darn. What a waste of such a neat complex. Crap, can't people live somewhere else?
Anyway, that would be great, but I wonder how much of the "original" equipment and mechanics of the place are still intact. Does anyone know when they shut down the production plant? Because if it was quite a while ago, they've most likely removed most of the stuff we'd find most interesting; The place might just be a bunch of empty warehouses now.

Hello, I'm new...

I should see if I can locate an old buddy of mine who did get into the place about 5 years back...it's been abandoned for quite some time. Anyway he took lots of photos all over the inside of the place. Amazing and HUGE old equipment. All with crazy stories (ie: people getting sucked in one side and spit out the other). From the photos it was by far one of the coolest places I've seen. He was able to sneak in as he was interning there back in school. The real entrance was across the street and took you under broadway via a fairly wide tunnel. If you're interested in seeing photos let me know and I can try and track him down. And Yes the place has a steady flow of security guards, at least they did back then. Makes it a little more exciting maybe, eh?

Hell yeah, get him on this site, i think he would enjoy it! . as for pictures that would be friggin awesome!

Edit: Oh, and welcome to uer.ca!

so, anyone check this thing out?

Uhh, no.

If anyone wants a new main picture put up, let me know via PM or post here. (the one we have currently sucks)

I like the main pic. It has the amazing water tower thingy that we all know and love

aye, but the quality is not so great.
