He's about 11 years too late to jump on the mainstream 'Urban Exploration' trend.
This ‘exploring sewers and old industrial buildings’ thing was really big with Trust Fund Kids (read: hipsters of that era) back in the mid-80′s where I’m from. A few years back, when Boing Boing was wetting itself over the concept, I looked up a website for those same 80′s kids.
There’s a photo of a group of them as teenagers, and it turned out they’re almost all dead of Cancer or odd Respiratory Diseases – far too many to be considered normal attrittion for a group of early 40-somethings. There’s usually a good reason why signs say ‘Keep Out’ and buildings are labelled ‘Condemned’.
This stuff is creative fuel, let me tell you. Undergrounds and forgotten spaces. I'm also a fan of those sites that show photos of abandoned cities, towns, stretches in interstate.
My favorite town in all of PA is Centralia. Creepy, creepy, ever-burning mine fire. Inspiration for the Silent Hill movie, opening fiction in White Wolf's Promethean.
I remember being fascinated as a kid by brief glimpses of corridors and rooms visible in the subway tunnels.
My mom and aunt recently scored a big win. They grew up in the City but had heard of, much less been to, the fabled City Hall subway station. After seeing pictures I'd sent they rode the (number 7?) line to the last stop and asked the driver if they could stay on. She signalled ahead somehow and when the train rounded the curve the place was all it up.

Yes, Mom.
(The underground stuff is fun. The bridge scares the crap out of me.)

I love the fact that during the time he doesn't want to be noticed, he actually is doing the "I'm not doing anything suspicious" humming.
Very interesting. That City Hall station is like magic.
NBC canned their planned 'Rockford Files' reboot. I guess they realized there already is a worthy successor - Leverage on TNT.
