did you notice that if it was electric, it had a sequentially-numbered yellow property tag on it? like they need to keep track of light fixtures? seems obsessive.

this was the first building i visited on my first trip to byberry. I walked in and met a group of explorers and hung out with them all day. If I hadnt met them, I wouldnt have seen 1/10th of what I got to see! Great Pic!

i completely understand and even agree with you, but seldom do important figures in local art scenes, budding entrepreneurs, or the independently wealthy frequent such abandoned treasures. it's usually just kids looking to blow off steam and, for lack of a better phrase, "fuck shit up." yes, it ruins the sometimes incredible beauty of these places, but if you had to sign a non-violence contract before entering, we wouldn't be looking at these Motts Gems. it's the inherent dichotomy of humanity: take the asshole with the artist...(the bad and the good).
