Unfortunately there isn't much in the way of cool abandoned buildings here in Ft Lauderdale, at least not that Ive seen. There were two place though that I had been to while making my Friday the 13th fan film (which can be found in the artist arena ).

Unfortunately I no longer have any footage of the inside of this building, but it was basically jammed with stuff six feet high

All of these places are now off limits, the stables have a fence blocking the entrance, ask Fire she saw it, I took her on a little tour of the park where I made most of the fan film.

I se and abraxas it's okay man i understand. there are alot of abandoned buildings here but most are dangerous, filled with hobos, or have asbestos. So i only went to 1 place sadly i have no pics but it was weirdly designed. it was a cement factory that most of was torn down by the time i explored. it was the weirdest experience in my life thus far. i will explain more in a bit.

There was an old abandoned school that I used to go into in the town that I used to work in. It had been built in the late 1800's and they quit using it in I believe the 1950's. There were still old desks and chairs inside, and the blackboards were still on the walls in the classrooms. It was pretty neat, but unfortunately they tore it down around 4 years ago.

That's a shame fridayfan. where there any books inside?

I see. it's a shame to see abandoned buidlings like that though. But it's creepy when you find personal belongings like books papers ect. That actually happened to me when i explored an abandoned cement factory (well we explored tthe buidlings in the abck most of the factory ahd been demolished) and we found blueprints/schematics and the buidling we went was...odd i intitally thought it was a school which seems likely because we found desks and chairs and even a chalkboard which was broken. most of the buidling was vandalized we also assumed a homeless man was living there because we found a box of fruit gushers and a matress and a blanket after we found that we left ASAP.

The only experience i have is an abandoned house that i went into once or twice. It still had a few of the previous owner's possessions in and for some reason he felt it necessary to leave clothes everywhere

Strictly speaking, unless you are removing the asbestos and damaging the building, you have nothing to fear. There is nothing to be concerned about if you are simply walking around the inside of an old building containing asbestos.

Warsaw has an endless number of dilapidated buildings. Once you have left the city center you can walk on any road long enough and find a decaying building of considerable size. They stand as forgotten relics of a former time - the city lacks the money to either repair them or demolish them - so they fall into further disrepair with each passing year. Many of the buildings are predicted to collapse of their own decay in the near future. A substantial number of bridges are in a similar situation.

Id love to see that

The Polish city of Łódź is no more than two hours by train from Warsaw and in Łódź you will find the highest concentration of abandoned buildings in Poland. Warsaw is a relatively prosperous city but Łódź is the city that time forgot. In the Baltic port city of Gdańsk you will also find many abandoned factories from the PRL days before Solidarność and privatization which never survived the turbulent transition from command to market economy. I will post a few photos of mine from Łódź for those who care to see them:

That's a little scary actually, Seventh. They look fairly cool, but the idea that a building that size in a major city is predicted to collapse and nothing is done about it is a bad scene. A building that size will kill innocent people when it comes down for sure unless it is part of a controlled demolition of some sort.
