I would like to take some cool pictures and see some rare spots in the city. Have already been to Graffiti Pier, got the Navy Yard koi pond on the list as well.
​
If anyone has some good suggestions please either comment them or PM me if you dont want the internet to know your secrets :)
You can post up under the Blockbuster sign on West Passyunk.
The refinery
There are still some empty spots in the Navy Yard
The Station Bar is abandoned half the time but, it's not cool
The Station Bar…. oh man. That place is terrible.
The Inquirer wrote an entire article on how shitty the owner is.
Anyone know what's up with the old Hahnemann Hospital? I feel like that might be a cool abandoned complex now, especially with Drexel moving out of their buildings.
The abandoned viaduct railway in callowhill
Once you are done exploring Center City spots - stop by Olive Garden at 14th and Chestnut for a meal.
There was a post not too long ago about the old Scientology building. If you can find a way in I’m sure that has some interesting photo possibilities

He's a turd.
Sitting in my friends apartment, surrounded by cats and dogs. Her roommate was a sort of serial cat rescuer type. Worked at the station for years as a bartender. Very kind woman.
Lou gets drunk and calls her up and says " I ran over the bar cat can you come over and help scrape her off the sidewalk"
She just broke down crying uncontrollably on the phone, sobbing, she'd rescued that cat years and years ago and it had as good a life a bar cat could have.
He yells "HAH JUST KIDDING!" and hangs up. Totally great prank dude...

Fuck that place, fuck the owner, and especially fuck the PPD and people in City Hall that protect this fuckface from all the illegal shit he does.
I've actually heard that story before. Fuck Lou and his mom's shitty bar.
lol prob know you, esp if you were a visitor of jiminy
Seems pretty likely. I was more of a pizza pub person. I stopped going to the station after the George Floyd protests when Lou was threatening to shoot all those people. I'm not in any way afraid of him just...fuck him, I'm not spending a penny there.
RIP pizza pub that place sucked. Waiting to piss only to find some chick passed out with a needle in her arm hogging the shitter...
Was that the time when it was supposed to be her first day of work behind the bar? I was there that day.
The Three Sisters or The Dead Fleet.

Could be a different lady. I didn't go there often.

The catacombs deep beneath the Masonic temple.
You must have strong spirit. Unafraid to stare intense.
Ground of all being, hope of all religion, end of all science, guarantor of all change. The transcendental object....down there. Keep going.
Masons do not own or control it. It’s whereabouts are arbitrary. But they will fend off intruders with their Egyptian magic. Heretics. All of them. Come prepared for spiritual warfare. RS
Great rec, I’m they are still remembered
Which refinery?
Not sure if it’s still accessible, and it’s totally loaded with asbestos, but there’s a big old empty power station down thataways
Fdr skate park
Go to the Aloft hotel on Broad and Arch. From there go to the basement gym in the old vault level of the bank. Get into the safety deposit boxes and look through them until you find the mini sledge and a chisel.
Use those on the wall along Broad street to break through into the abandoned section of the concourse and the abandoned concourse police station.
The one that blew up a few years ago.
