Quote from: derspiess on April 03, 2009, 08:32:28 AM:woot:  Let's go.  I love abandoned places like that.  They have a post-apocalyptic vibe to them.

:thumbsup:  I have a bunch of pics of it, as well as some of Creelsboro, Kentucky (ghost town downstream from Lake Cumberland).

Sweet.  I'll have to wait 'til I get home to see the pics (Photobucket is blocked here at work now :rolleyes: ).  There are several spots listed here that I'd like to visit, including the Cincinnati subway: http://www.forgottenoh.com/page1.html

Wonder if there are some good places in Northern KY...

Heh, I heard about the Cincinnati subway and wanted to check it out last time I was up there on business, but never got around to it.  That whole story amuses me. :)

It's nearly impossible to get in to see it.  They have a very small tour once a year, and I'm guessing you have to have connections to get in on it.

I also remember it being a beautiful place in the spring.

:thumbsup:

My %^**^%$ camera just broke, so until I get it repaired and/or my new one gets here, I can't take any pics... but yes, yes it is. :cool:

But concealed carry FTW!

Good point. I suppose you might as well open carry (which I think anyone can do in Ohio).

FWIW, the abandoned tuberculosis hospital in Lima is probably a hoot to explore: http://www.forgottenoh.com/LimaTB/limatb.html

I don't believe in ghosts at all, but for some odd reason ghost stories fascinate me.

Same.  If I wanted a similar experience to Lima, I'd just go to Waverly Hills Sanitorium in Louisville.  Very Silent Hill-ish.

Whoa.  Found their website & that place looks awesome.  Might see if I can get the wife to go on a tour.

Timmy, check this shit out: I found a website that automates building a travel map for you like I was doing manually, for every US state.  It even provides an overall map.  I *think* this is comprehensive but I need to double check some stuff.  For example, I may have gone to Norfolk with my dad when I was a kid but until I verify that I won't list it:
