What we think is a furniture factory, on Sycamore street in Buffalo. I came here once in 2009, it's changed a bit since then, less building more nature. Things haven't been going as planned for a while so I figured I'd let anyone from my group go with the UR UrbEx club. The result was mostly weird: Nate and Amy, firmly rooted in the "other" school of urbex, came in with stealthy looks and respirator masks, and generally way out of place. It will be interesting having them around for the rest of the year... Nate sees something on the…

Everyone has been here before. How many of you have been here with it all lit up like this? Get down to the subway while there's still construction lights, makes capturing the dark parts so much easier...

I woke up this afternoon sprawled out in the entrance of Kendrick Hall. Something was still going off in my head: "got to get to the stadium. it's all happening at the zoo. you're on the moon, things are different here."

A relic from the age of missiles, AFRS (Air Force Radio Station) Cambria was the command center for the Niagara region's rocket program. While not a launch site itself, Cambria was still the largest of the bases, with barracks for the entire 763rd who served around Niagara county, a school, a gym and drill building, a computer center, and a (very) hardened bunker, the only building on base we couldn't get in. Inexplicably, the main road through the base is a Unicorn Drive; this probably had some military significance at the time, but now it's a weird aside. The Fightin'…
