Tonight we decided to walk around downtown and see what interesting buildings there were. We wanted to go off the beaten path to really see the underbelly of Decatur. We started out with the old Goods Furniture warehouse. We circled the building a few times but couldn't find any way to get in without breaking something we settled for some pictures of the outside. The camera gave us a bit of trouble in the beginning but we got it all straightened out. We also used our friend Lindsey's camera which takes much better pictures than ours. The outside showed alot of ageing and from what we could see through the windows; the inside did as well.
There was a fire escape on the side of the building that seemed to be intact, but even with my minor free-climbing skills I was unable to reach the ladder.
Right by the building was the underpass that turns into Water St. We went over to see what all we could find. There was a fork lift there that looked abandoned but we really couldn't tell. (No the keys where not in it) On the hood of the forklift was a Godfather's Pizza delivery car sign, I can't imagine what mileage you would get using that to deliver pizzas. There were a couple interesting signs but nothing else major was under the bridge.
This place was a great walk and was very fun to look at. I hope that one day we will be able to explore the inside of the warehouse. We will post right away if we do. Please comment if you like these pictures or follow out blog to keep updated. If you want to use the pictures all we ask is that you tell them where you got them. Publicity is all we want.
Next up is a abandoned school playground.
