Youre cute how often do u go there?

That smacks of bullshit to me. Bums don't live here due to the intense amount of traffic and the heavily armed explorers that don't take kindly to knife-weilding vagrants. You can't really get lost either due to the thousands of open windows, doors and blatantly hammered-through wall holes. When the sun comes up, a quick exit is just yards away.

An outer sleeve of asbestos from a pipe in the ceiling.

Yes, contemplating the cadaverous storage space seen here has always been a past-time at the Berry.

Still, you can't help but think of the hundreds of autopsies that were watched from these very bleachers by students and surgeons during Byberry's history. When I sit here with friends tokin' up, I envision the body on the table that used to stand just scant yards away...
*shudder*

And that my friends is why they call him Radical F'en ED

Yeah, up until last year there were library-type angled ladders that ran along the rails you can see at the top of the pic. I believe those rails are the only copper items left here since the scavengers gutted the place in the 90's.

The annual summer BBQ is held on this very deck. What better a way to celebrate the freedom of the nation?!
I've had dozens of beers looking at this very building from this deck, including during the last major snowstorm.
Awesome view every time.
We had the local Philadelphia Police Helicopter drop right out of the sky level to where we were hanging out here. Needless to say we boogied on out the door but their infared followed us for an entire building before we went underground.
Fun fun drunk in the sun.

yeah,it is

I bet there was some cool old shit in there when they cleaned it out.

yeah, i kind of agree with brady, but it also ruins its frightening features.

what is hanging from the ceiling?

yeah i want to visit but some of my friends were chased out of there by a bum with a knife and there were 18 people that went with her , and also this kid went in with a friend and the friend has yet to be found do u think it would be a bad idea for me to go in? i want to so bad , are there lots of afterlife and paranormal experiences there?

Yeah, the floors are cement so it's pretty sturdy.

Wonderful show of colors. Brilliant.
