Fall would work. It will give me time to either replace my interior or tint my windows.
I might check out the lay of the land on this. I do really like industrial ruins..

I was just recently out near Bethlehem PA. The ONLY thing that kept me out of there is the very real threat of arrest. If you get caught there, there is almost no way of talking your way out of it. Many people I talk to online that went there got busted and they aren't little kids out tagging up the place. They were going in with cameras and taking pics.

Well its under construction now. We have a couple of our cranes in there right now. Pictures do not do this place justice. It is massive, and if it wasnt for all the activity (demolition and construction) going on there it would be a very eerie place.

The site says the Trotting park was abandoned in 1966..
Some neat history about it:
In 1998, movie crews chose the site to film an explosion for the movie "No Code of Conduct." No Code of Conduct is an action film involving cops and drug dealers. American Humane Association had been informed by production that there were no animals being used in the filming. Therefore, AHA was not on set and was not involved in the monitoring of any animals involved in the production.

The script called for the explosion of a drug warehouse at the end of the film and production chose to use an abandoned building at Phoenix Trotting Park in Goodyear, AZ. During the filming of the special effects explosion, hundreds of birds that were indigenous to the location were injured and killed. Although AHA was told by a production spokesperson that the company had attempted to clear the area and the building of the birds, there were several hundred birds still in the building at the time the explosives were detonated. According to a media source at the time of the incident, a representative from Arizona Department of Fish and Game approved the explosion. -ahafilm.info

Damn Aaros, it does look tough in your area. Chicago has a lot, but thats the other corner of the state.

Here's a power station in Port Richmond I'd like to get some pics with. I don't know how good the security is. I've read that it still has an active substation so it might be too much, but I plan on scoping it out.
