    Please, always carry a flashlight with you and buy a mask with suitable filters for mold and fine dust. You're already taking a risk with the police; don't risk your health as well.

    Bro im no expert but your little masks probably aren't good enough to protect from asbestos the reason i say this is because of how small the particles are these places were likely closed down because of the Asbestos get a respirator and eye protection before you do this again if you haven't already also bring a Weapon for self defense so you don't get kidnapped or worse walk onto a Cartel or gang building with nothing to get you out

    One thing you can do when you're near an exterior is use a red LED flashlight. Red light is way harder for people to spot~ Ofc never shine it out the window, but looking around a room it'll be harder to spot. Less the light the better.

    That skyscraper is the 700 N. Michigan Avenue right in the heart of the downtown/Gold Coast neighborhood. Upscale. Walked past it for decades. I didn’t know that it was struggling to find new commercial tenants. Hopefully, it will see new life again soon. Although locations are not to be mentioned, but it’s far less likely that anyone will ever vandalize this place.

    Oh btw that "piano" in the church wasnt actually a piano. Its an electric organ. Didnt catch the modal but it looks like an older one that uses tone whell generators instead of a slicon chip synthesizer. (Uses motors to make the sound)

      Not just that...but it's a Hammond (you can see the logo, in a different spot, on the console). No Leslie, unless it's inside the damn thing (I hate those. It ruins the sound, and it's too powerful). Not sure what model it is, but I see drawbars, so it must be one of the tone wheel ones.

    Outside of my apartments is a huge green building that used to be like a main section for a ski resort and me and a friend explored the outside because we could not get in. We looked through a window and saw spray paint by a stairway that said hell^ and help me. We could swear we saw a pair of eyes and a squatter. We were unaware that there was motion sensors and the cops came

    LOL this kind of reminds me of Condemned: Criminal Origins. That's why I love Chicago. There are still lots of old buildings and streets that have that creepy and gritty feel to them. I wish I could go back to the 90s and earlier when things were REALLY gritty and crazy. Unfortunately, the trend has been to gentrify many neighborhoods, so you have to enjoy Old Chicago while it lasts.

    That mall was called The Huron at 100 East, but I just knew it as the Saks Fifth Avenue mall. I went there many, many times, mainly to eat at the food court (which was at the top where the enormous rounded window and balcony are). That was super creepy to see it abandoned and completely dark. Those narrow walkways over the open well at the center of the mall would have been super scary to walk over with no lighting. And then to shine your flashlight down the opening...Yikes.
    When I was in college (early 90s), I took a double date out to the fire escape just under the "Tip Top Tap" sign near the top of the Allerton Hotel, also on Michigan Ave. About 40 stories up, I'd guess. Good times.
