I have to laugh - GodDog was interviewed in the article in 2006 "No trespasser has ever been injured" What now? Whose blood is that then?!

Man, I grew up running all through byberry, especially the buildings across the street from where most of these shots were taken. I remember clearly seeing long hallway which was one of the underground hallways and at the end were double doors with a devils face saying "welcome to hell" . It was amazing having a place like this to party at. We had our own PARTY BUILDINGS ! Complete with underground catacomb crawl spaces and very dark and gloomy rooms, several with the floors falling apart,. You kinda had to hop over those sopts. sometimes a 3-5 foot jump was required. And the roof was crumbling up 6 floors up we would be sitting on large half broken concrete slabs. Getting completely wasted. It's amazing none of us ever had life threatening injuries. At least nothing a few stiches or a cast couldn't fix. To sum it up, we had life by the BALLZ !!! Later
