2014 was a fun year too

I haven't gotten out much this year, but I still managed to get out to a few spots. Here is how 2014 was for me.


We made a number of trips to my favorite local hospital throughout the year.

This other theater was already gutted and twinned unfortunately.
8.

Westmont Theater by EsseXploreR , on Flickr

I searched for years for this factory, until one day I had to make a delivery right to the center of the campus. Unfortunately I only got to explore the empty interior for a little bit before I had to head back to work.

We were confronted by the groundskeeper inside this hospital right after taking this photo. Fortunately he thought we were part of the film crew who had been filming there.

This campus is always fun to take a walk around

We also managed to make it over to New England to see a spot I've had my eyes on forever.

Here are a few spots I didn't get the chance to post yet.

We were hanging out in New York City and decided to stop by this Harlem Landmark that is being renovated.
