Just as the name implies, I am buying the former Neuweiler Brewery in Allentown.

I do apologize however for the "wide brush" with which I painted. I know some are just merely coming to take pictures and just observe, however the vandals seem to notice this and follow suit.

Why would one have to pay for around-the-clock security when after all there is not supposed to be someone in the building. Also, in regards to "forking over more money", I have a $30 milliion restoration and thanks to "urban explorers" (more along the vandal type) I now have to pay thousands on damage caused by people trying to get into the building. This is not even anywhere close to damages done by vandalism by removing historical architectural pieces.

Unfortunately my solution to security and 24-hour surveilance and most peoples are a little different. My idea is an 8 foot chain-link fence with razorwire on top with a shot first ask questions later security approach, especially where historical works of art (architecturally speaking) are concerned.

Urban explorer? Is that what you call it? The police (and I) call it criminal trespass. I seek out buildings such as this one to buy and restore, however it seems when I get a building like this I always seem to have someone that decides that rules and locks and barriers don't apply. I have had equipment stolen and had to make countless repairs because of so-called "urban explorers" such as yourself.
