    that was really cool. I love exploring abandoned places. before drones were a thing, I got to explore an unfinished hotel in Togliatti, Russia. that would have been awesome to fly a drone around there. they have since finished that hotel decades later.

    More weirdness. If this was anywhere here on the west coast, it would be surrounded by fences, razor wire, keep out signs galore, etc. And like many places in the midwest, you can just walk right in! Also: all windows busted, but those stained glass windows looked intact?~?

      I spent time in Germany yrs ago in the army And I was fascinated with the churhces.. well one church in Nuremberg was totally demolished during ww2. And was rebuilt. It was such a glorious church.. what was amazing was they were tuning the pipe organ.. there was a man up in the pipes and his son sat on the bench seat.. you could hear the man telling his assistant which note to hit. But what was amazing was the craftsmanship .. the detail in the structure... was totally captivating . The stained glass was totally special... I want to go back.. truly a wonderful place.
