A little while back a publisher found gmiller.net and reached out to me regarding my large collection of urban exploration photos. The publisher, Fonthill Media / Arcadia, have a s…

The New York Farmers Colony has an interesting, sordid history. It began as a poor house, before social security systems were in place. People unable to care for themselves were se…

My last post was a power plant and I'm pretty sure this place is too, though I couldn't find any history on it. This was a really cool, completely unplanned and unexpected explore.…

My 101st Urban Ex post.. w00t! Time flies, I wonder what lies in my next hundred spots? :D This abandoned Power Plant was nick named the Gates of Hell by explorers before me. I don…

The days after a major NYC snow storm I found myself once again Urban Exploring a giant sprawling complex of abandoned buildings. This time, I went to the sub-section called "The Q…

Sometimes when you've done something for awhile, you start to think you've seen everything. I've been exploring abandoned things and drain tunnels for a few years now. But nothing …

The other day I went out with another awesome explorer I met online. We drove an hour away from the city to this magical land of abandoned buildings. This sprawling complex was hug…

Early on in my adventures I did some silos back in the Bay Area. When I moved to NYC I quickly learned of silos over on the east coast that were similar in age and style to the Bay…

This was a gigantic warehouse - basically two in one. In was comprised of two separate buildings, joined with a large gate connecting them. In the middle was a creepy cage - see th…

Not to far away from Smells house, I was able to find this mostly empty warehouse, but it was coated with wall to wall graffiti.…

This warehouse was built in 1886 - that's, like, 100 years before I was born. Interestingly, the construction was made primarily out of wood. In place of steel i-beams there were w…

Every now and then fans of gmiller.net reach out to me. (Feel free to do so!) One fan hooked me up with this spot, and I'm thankful. I had never seen or heard of this spot prior - …

Like the HYSU Tunnel, this area seems to be named after the Chiefs. We did find some sweet Musks in here too!…

We had a lead on this spot previously and it turned out to be a different abandoned school in a semi-nearby area. Discouraged, we went home empty handed. It was good news when we f…

Several years ago my exploring buddy and I got ourselves into one of the most memorable adventures: a giant Asterisk shaped building with over 400 rooms. Well, there was actually t…

I actually did a very similar spot to these years ago, so I kinda knew what to expect. An Instagrammer I followed alluded to the benefits of checking if maintenance doors are open.…

This school, I believe, is over 100 years old. It left a beautiful building behind filled with graffiti. With four floors and a basement level, it took over three hours to explore …

Much much earlier in my adventures I had visited and climbed some cranes. That was one of my most cherished exploring memories so I was ecstatic to find some more easily accessible…

I'm not sure if this warehouse is actually abandoned. It's really neat and clean inside. I decided to poke my head in through a hole and saw a sweet CCTV door and a urinal with a C…

The architecture and the environment this spot is located at reminded me of the Tag Cathedral. There was a small shed next to it with some machines and a basic CCTV handstyle on th…

This large gym has been abandoned for some time. In addition to large, open, sporting area, there's also three stories to explore. Interestingly, the stories go downward instead of…

I've known about this spots location and have been wanting to check it out for awhile. The outside is easy to check out, and probably familiar to people who walk their dogs on the …

This tunnel at one time was an epic underground art gallery, but I was late to the game on this one and missed it. The city came through and buffed the whole thing - apparently thi…

The word on the street is the HYSU crew (Have You Seen Us?) claimed a creek tunnel to themselves as their personal showcase for HYSU graff. They'll even paint over anyone else who …

When we found out about this place we were expecting a warehouse. But what we got was totally better: a slick ex-office building from a Silicon Valley company. The inside wasn't ju…

On our way to another adventure we discovered this disproportionately tall tank in the hills. It seems to be out of use, as you can actually climb inside it. It was covered in graf…
