...and most importantly, letters and info left behind at the location.


This in particular.

Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing.

I get information from the internet, family members (my Dad seems to know a little about everything), the library, historical societies and locals.

ALOT of it is from just driving. For me, at least. Sometimes I just watch the buildings pass beside me until I find a reason to brake.

I don't do this because I'm too lazy, but my friend goes and looks up news articles on factories in the area that go out of business because a ton of people loosing their jobs warrants articles, and then looks up addresses like that. We found an old soap plant, furniture warehouse, and coca cola factory like that out here in the SF area.

Talked to my grandma once about a building and she had some interesting things about it. I remember afterwards that she has dementia is 89. Old people might have some go info but aren't always reliable.

Exactly. It's almost as good as a flashing neon arrow.

If you have an older friend or family member who's pretty laid back and understanding, just ask. My dad still tells me about places he hears about or sees. Apparently my aunt relays places to him for me.

I consider it a stop sign.

I find looking at old, sometimes very old aerial photographs and comparing them to recent aerials like google earth really makes abandoned buildings stick out, as the are pushed aside from development or burred in vegetation.
From there is a process of elimination as to what the building is. Then its endless searches through the archives.

If you can't beat them, shoot them!
