Abandoned Shipping Building

We went off a tip from a friend to check out this place by K-Mart in Decatur. From the road it is very hard to see and easily dismissed but if you get up close and personal with the building it is quite nice looking. The graffiti on the backside of the building is quite interesting and some of it is very artful and well done. Obviously there are the token penis, cuss words, ect ect, but some of it is nice in its own way. On the inside it is trashed. Period. There is insulation and glass everywhere. We go into the building from an unlocked door on the backside and start out in a long hallway which has a few offices in front of it. Past the hallway we enter the main room, where all the shipping would have taken place. Now it is simply full of trash with a few gems hidden in the rubble. Monopoly money is scattered on one side of the room, and voided checks with account number and everything are in a pile in the middle. There was also a sonogram of somebody's baby and school pictures. Baby furniture also was piled up along the wall with the Monopoly money. There where beer bottles and other cans everywhere in the room as it looked nice and partied in. Definitely not a place that you want to go if you are looking for a mint condition find. Full album here.

Going off to Chanute Air Force Base tomorrow. Follow us on Twitter for up to date information!
