Great shots and narration make it very entertaining!
If you explore anywhere else I would love to read another one of these threads.

Thanks for all the comments everyone! - I'll definitely be making more trips to this place in the future (there are ~15-20 buildings, and we only barely explored 2 floors of the main hospital).

These pictures are sweet though!
They used to have security when the land/buildings had been bought by a developer. There were some legal issues however, and the township it's in reclaimed the land and property, and they're broke, the place is wide open.

Me and some friends did something like this a few years back, but we did it at night. Was a trip seeing all the syringes and medical files scattered everywhere.
We almost got busted for trespassing actually, turns out they hire some guy to sit in his car all night to make sure nobody is trespassing. He called the cops but they just let us go 
Yeah, there were a lot of (thankfully empty) biohazard bags and syringes in the autopsy room.
Goodness knows what else we'd have found.

Hey Zom do you know the dates of these buildings? Like when they were made? How far back do they go?

1952, I believe. There is a fall-out shelter somewhere in the complex...

That is a fucking terrible, terrible idea.
Just go by some ply wood and set some shit up in a field.
No reason to cover an old relic in paint for your own pleasures.

someone else already did
and what are you saying, splotches of paint aren't art?
As for a relic, I dunno about this one but the abandoned insane asylum was filled with heroin addicts living in the catacombs, I wouldn't exactly call these things relics, more like eye soars.

Nice pictures and captions to go with them. There isn't anything around here like that, but I might have to look harder now.

A large part of art has to do with the intentions of the creator.
I think running around with your friends shooting paint balls at each other is not going to be considered art by most people.
What you consider an eye sore is an endless canvas for photographers.
Maybe you don't appreciate photography, but the photos Zom took were beautiful and there are countless other photos just waiting to be captured. Why ruin the canvas?
These things we are debating are purely opinion and pre-conceived notions, so I don't really expecct to change your mind. I just think what your suggesting would be considered vandalism more so than art. And yes, there is a fine line between graffiti being art and being vandalism.

"one man's trash is another man's treasure"
and on the graffiti note, whenever you trespass and write something anywhere, it's vandalism in my eyes I don't care how good it is.

You're lucky I didn't take any pictures of the toilets. They were....well, colorful.
