Interesting locations in Boston?

[vyacheslav19]

Hello, I've just signed up for this lovely forum. I'm from southeastern MA, just south of Fall River. Back home I used to do a lot of exploration, and had a pretty good map of my local area (bristol county plus a few other areas), but I'm going to school and living on campus here in Boston. I'm sure in the city that there are tons of interesting places, but I'm at a loss for finding many of them. I was wondering, if any of you folks might have some locations in the area which are of interest?

I'm at Emerson college for journalism, was hoping to do a documentary on urbexxing out of personal interest, but of course, people have beaten me to it. It is really funny how Boston seemingly has less locales, it's a pain. I figured I'd be swimming in abandonments, but the best I've done is a bit of mild rooftopping. A big problem is that I don't know the city too well of course.

Also, if you're in the south shore area, a place to check out that I've got some extensive details on (and which I was going to post once I had access to my photos back home) is the Tilcon Capaldi complex on Route 6, in Swansea MA. Urbexx'ers dream, something like 10 abandoned offices and garages that used to be a gravel companies headquarters.

I'd do the documentary anyway, but that's me. Welcome to IB!

I might make it anyway, since I'm going less for informative and more for style. I've been experimenting with 8mm film a bit, saving up to make my own home studio for developing it. Might not be coincidental that I appreciate abandoned and ignored structures, and also enjoy vintage photography and filmography. Waiting to fix my old kodak folding camera before I take some extensive photos with it back home of my local areas abandonments.

Also, something caught my eye while getting off the T at Boylston. Behind the old carriage on display there, is an unused tunnel, shame it's fenced off pretty extensively.  Generally I'm fine with ignoring tresspassing restrictions, but with the T, don't wanna fuck with it as much.

Also, if you're ever in Boston looking to check something out, drop me an email, it's my username + @gmail.com .
