This was my hideout when I didn’t wAnt to go to school. Before security it was pretty hot. Sometimes haunted thru the tunnels. Back when the bridge was still there before transformers movie took it down..
If u ever get a way to get to the top please do. Really haunted to the point where my friend got pushed by some force. Walking on top of the rail cart broke his ankles had to carry him down... never came back
@@navi21wildside49 I’ve only been to the top of the taller silos, never the other ones now that the bridge is gone. I know there’s a way, just super sketch. Cool story though !
Came across this gem 💎,,, I always pass by those silos and wondered what it looked like on the inside, just seeing that beautiful view of my home on the south side of chicago just stunning ❤ go sox !!!! And great video man 👍👍👍
I remember exploring the site back when I was in 8th grade roughly a year before this video, bringing with me some of my younger classmates, we explored the base of the elevator, and the warehouses nearby, no way were we kids gonna get to the top from that rope that hung from the side of the firestairs!! We were actually pretty well on our way, security ended up catching us on our way out, luckily guy probably could tell our young ages and just told us to sodd off with a verbal warning lmao
I was only halfway through the vid when I posted my last comment. You going up the steps I could feel it in my stomach. LOL I'm scared of heights so there's no way I could have made it up there and if I did manage to get up there I would have needed the fire department to get me down. LOL awesome work on the Vid! Just subbed! Thanks!
Thank you! I used to be a little afraid of heights too, but I kept pushing myself until I could get over it. I chickened out three other visits before I decided to finally climb up lol
This place is Amazing..In the Early 80's we explored the remains of the old Union stockyards I believe they are totally gone now. Yeah Chicago's history of grain and meat is very rich.. Chicago once housed the biggest grain elevators and stockyard in the known world.. Union stockyard was owned and operated by Armor foods closed in 1971. In the 80s it wasn't so easy to film or even take good quality photographs and urban exploring wasn't an even a term then.. Sadly younger people have grown up seeing all the Urban decay of the heyday of the industrial revolution as well as the early food chain.. it's all Global now. Little interesting fact. The first grain elevators constructed were financed by a businessman who was lucky to even know what grain was. He just seen the Large prophets that could be made by hoarding the Grain in these storage facilities known as grain elevators and silos.. Every morning first stock on the board is gain. His motivation was to set markets as well as prices.. The mechanics of modern-day business was born of the food chain prior to the industrial revolution... I personally wish younger people could have seen these places in operation rather than in they're decaying form..
I remember exploring this place in high school with my ex who heard about it from her big brother. We visited a few times so seeing your vid brought back so many mems hahah
Great vid man! Me and some friends went today but that rope looked way too sketch and I couldn’t get past the idea of the falling down. But I wanna get to the top for that view though, so I got to not pussy out next time lol.
The interior set of stairs have been mostly destroyed, yes. They're not really usable anymore. It may be possible, but it would be a lot more dangerous than the various other methods. Thanks for watching!
I'm jealous, back in 2019 (before the pandemic) I made my way onto the property and was in there for a whopping 5 minutes before I got caught by security and kicked off the premises 😆😆😆
I went here last night and sneaked through a little tight hole in the fence deep down the street and I only made it to the first building before the security car started rolling and I thought it saw us but he left.. I wasn’t able to go to the silos tho.. Im going tonight or tomorrow but I feel like I would get lost tho😅 there’s so many halls and no end 😅
I got severe tingling feelings when you begun climbing that staircase around the 14 minute mark, absolutely no way in hell ill do that, even in a dream...
Great story sir! I just did a short film on the Abandoned Silos we have here in San Francisco. Feel free to check it out! Keep up the awesome work your new sub!

Oh cool. It’s hot enough with security, I can imagine it without lol

That thumbnail shot with Chicago in the center looks super sick
Thanks man!

Go Sox! Great to have some love from a fellow southsider!
Awesome video guys!!! Nice job. That top staircase was was pretty scary though! I personally don't know if I would trust it!
Thanks! And it sure was, but I think it was worth the risk for the view!
Good vid! You got some gutz! I chickened out a few times just watching the vid. Made me keep thinking about the movie Candyman. LOL
Haha thanks, The view made it all worth it in the end!

dumb that there's security :/ let people have fun and enjoy the city's history jeez
its not there because they dont want people exploring it its there because they dont want people killing themselves accidentally or non accidentally.

Glad I could bring back some memories! Typa way I be feeling seeing my own vids

Haha yeah it can be a bit nerve wrecking at first. I don't think I did it till maybe the third time I was there.
I did it it was strong just be positive and do it
11M turn that place into a paintball arena. I love the place at night
Haha yeah, this place would be great as a paintball field
did the other way up get destroyed? or do most videos avoid it? i climbed up through an interior set of stairs about 10 years ago

@@nukecity20 damn I guess I missed my chance at climbing up. thanks for the video, and the reply. happy exploring!
Bruce Wayne no problem, thanks!
We use to party here back in highschool They have security there now?
Yeah they do. It’s kinda pointless though
@@nukecity20 seems like it . Back in the day cpd would roll in there as long as you weren’t climbing on shit they’d leave you alone even if u had cans
@@nukecity20 That's where they record the chicago pd scenes ?

Did you ever go?
How did you get past security?
I got severe tingling feelings when you begun climbing that staircase around the 14 minute mark, absolutely no way in hell ill do that, even in a dream...
Hahah, I’ve done it so many times that now I’m more worried about a cop driving by on Damen and seeing us than falling. Thanks for watching!
@@nukecity20 yea lmao
Would it be fine to go at night. My friends and I are looking to go in like 30 min lol
Yeah it’s fine. The security has been very lax recently
Bro be careful I was there I got caught when I was tryna go in to the silos there 2 cars most of the time on the property
Yeah be careful I got arrested just going in Smfh fucking pigs all cuz we ran don’t run if caught
The security sucks balls now
I'll leave the climbing to you and just watch the video, no way i'd climb that
Haha the view is totally worth it In my opinion. It’s not as bad after you’ve done it a couple times. Thanks for watching!
@@nukecity20 Oh yes the view was great, just fine from my computer! LOL
Great story sir! I just did a short film on the Abandoned Silos we have here in San Francisco. Feel free to check it out! Keep up the awesome work your new sub!
