I hear MA is filled with creepy abandoned places.

the state hospital system is pretty much abandoned ... i have documented one of those buildings
(in downtown boston ) it was pretty creepy, and it felt like i was being followed around the whole time. i got the same
feeling at a machine tool company in vermont. that place was .5miles long ...
... the harbor islands are filled with abandoned-stuff (internment camps, fortresses, battlements and other stuffs )
lots of old mill and factory ruins up and down the blackstone river ... whole abandoned villages...
there used to be an abandoned power-station for a factory on the edge of cambridge
we used to sneak in when we were in college ... a huge drop into a cavern in the middle of the floor
where equipment used to sleep, broken windows everywhere so the light shone all
ecclesiastical ... almost like an industrial version of le corbusier's la chapelle de ronchamp

a lot has been renovated now ... the go-go 90s and first few years of the 00's were big years to renovate + re-use.

i knew some people that lived in an old distillery, the molasses vat in the floor was
always a good time
