I didn't even know we had an abandoned state college campus. Where is this?

Abandoned places are cool, until the mold, asbestos, and lead dust cause lung and kidney failure.

'Urban Explorers' need to wear proper respirators and never seem to do so.

That's cuz most of them are dumb ass kids. I haven't done it in a few years but I'm a lot more aware of the health risks now so that if I ever do it again I'll bring protection (body condom?)

GMACK I love these photos. They remind me of Metropolitan State Hospital in Waltham. I spent a lot of afternoons exploring around the met growing up.

Have you ever been out to the Northampton State Hospital? The architecture of the buildings is supposedly breath taking.
