I would like to take some cool pictures and see some rare spots in the city. Have already been to Graffiti Pier, got the Navy Yard koi pond on the list as well.

​

If anyone has some good suggestions please either comment them or PM me if you dont want the internet to know your secrets :)

You can post up under the Blockbuster sign on West Passyunk.

The refinery

There are still some empty spots in the Navy Yard

The Station Bar is abandoned half the time but, it's not cool

Anyone know what's up with the old Hahnemann Hospital? I feel like that might be a cool abandoned complex now, especially with Drexel moving out of their buildings.

Once you are done exploring Center City spots - stop by Olive Garden at 14th and Chestnut for a meal.

There was a post not too long ago about the old Scientology building. If you can find a way in I’m sure that has some interesting photo possibilities

They're actually planning to convert parts of the building into lab spaces for biotech companies. Source
And I usually see people going in and out of the building when I pass by so it might not be that "cool abandoned complex" anytime soon...

He's a turd.

Sitting in my friends apartment, surrounded by cats and dogs. Her roommate was a sort of serial cat rescuer type. Worked at the station for years as a bartender. Very kind woman.

Lou gets drunk and calls her up and says " I ran over the bar cat can you come over and help scrape her off the sidewalk"

She just broke down crying uncontrollably on the phone, sobbing, she'd rescued that cat years and years ago and it had as good a life a bar cat could have.

He yells "HAH JUST KIDDING!" and hangs up. Totally great prank dude...

Seems pretty likely. I was more of a pizza pub person. I stopped going to the station after the George Floyd protests when Lou was threatening to shoot all those people. I'm not in any way afraid of him just...fuck him, I'm not spending a penny there.

The catacombs deep beneath the Masonic temple.

You must have strong spirit. Unafraid to stare intense.

Ground of all being, hope of all religion, end of all science, guarantor of all change. The transcendental object....down there. Keep going.

Masons do not own or control it. It’s whereabouts are arbitrary. But they will fend off intruders with their Egyptian magic. Heretics. All of them. Come prepared for spiritual warfare. RS

Not sure if it’s still accessible, and it’s totally loaded with asbestos, but there’s a big old empty power station down thataways

Go to the Aloft hotel on Broad and Arch. From there go to the basement gym in the old vault level of the bank. Get into the safety deposit boxes and look through them until you find the mini sledge and a chisel.

Use those on the wall along Broad street to break through into the abandoned section of the concourse and the abandoned concourse police station.

Good Luck
