totally fantastic angle, what a great shot.

holy cow! great colors, i love your prespective.

now this is a great pic! it looks like an iron monster... great angle !!

If this tunnel has been flooded forever there must be a source. There's about 2 inches of water in the catacombs between w-6 and the traffic tunnel.

Or spend all their time in front of some game console.

Yeah, ditto for Atlanta, all the old factories are now loft apartments for yuppies. Everyone wants to move back into the cities, they're tired of the long commutes.

You're not a moron - people were just goofing around. I was born in Pittsburgh, PA and wondered why I found the different spellings so many times when I looked up old info on the Internet. My father lived for a short time in Pittsburg (no 'h') California as well as being from the Pittsburgh (with an 'h') Pennsylvania area, which is what got me started on the discrepancy in the first place. However, I had never thought to look it up until you mentioned it here, so I thank you for prompting me to do that.

My grandmother had a aunt who lived on oakland beach road or ave. I forget. During the 30's and 40's many family members use to visit her there and spend weekends. I remember her attic use to be filled with big ole beds that her guests used. When we went there in the early 70's I remember them as being old and dusty! LOL We spent many a days at Rocky point and at Grandmas aunts house.

I remember the day my sister went on this ride, we dropped popcorn or something on the golf course below when we returned the attendant wanted us to go to the office! HA do you think my grandmother would have anything to do with that??? She also would go on the scrambler with us!! I miss her so. RP so sad to see that place gone. RIP.

Man, in LoDo Denver, all these kick ass old buildings are retrofitted to be cool and ecclectic loft housing or office space. I'd love to get my hands on one of these old buildings with the amazing masonry and all to donate the contents and turn them into something that can be used for many more years.

Sorry 'bout that man, but we have to blame those kids who grew up submerged in potato chips, Diet Cokes, and spend all their time in front of the tube.

Hey, Busted~

I'm really sorry to hear about your friends mom. I just wanted to let you know that I will be sending up prayers for her.

I would HATE it if all Motts pictures were in black and white.....so many of them are awesome because of the colours he captures.

paexplorers: the site superintendant saw you as you guys went around the bend and told the cops. We kept the cops busy for a while talking to them about the history of the place, but after Mr. Asshat superintendant spotted you guys, they left us a few minutes later to go find you. It seems you were able to get away without being caught by Superintendant Asshat.

Now I think I understand how everything went down that day. I still want to know who alerted the superintendant that there were people on the site. I think we were there for about an hour and a half before he showed up.

I was there that day with a good friend of mine, her brother, and her mom. A few days after our trip to Dixmont, her mom had a massive stroke and is still in the hospital. She is paralyzed on one side of her body, cannot talk or eat, and can barely move. Her doctors have found a clot in her brain and aren't very optomistic that she will recover much. She is a wonderful person that I've known since I was a teenager, so if anyone reading this is a praying person, there are many of us who would very much appreciate a prayer for her recovery. She knew about Dixmont years ago and was the one who told us about it and how it was about to be torn down.

could you post a link to your webpage please?
