Today I was in a car, looking out the window on the Parkway heading south, and right before exit 149 there was, what seemed like, abandoned buildings. Anyone know anything about this?

has anyone ever taken the train to philly when it was light out? i rode with my boyfriend a bunch times from atlantic city and only twice it was light out. we barely spoke because i was so intrigued of the view. there are backyards/junkyards full of old rusty shit. it is hard to tell which they are because there are so many of both. i cannot understand what drives these people to keep this crap in their back yard. what purpose does it serve? 'oh you crashed your car? throw it in my backyard!' oh you have an extra bicycle tire rim? throw it in my backyard!' for what?!
its actually quite amusing trying to picture the people and their personalities that live in these houses.
let me know if you enjoy the scenic train ride as much as i do!

anyone know of any outdoor, lit pools located in / around the philly / suburbs / south jersey area? public, private, whichever- i don't need to swim in it- just take a photo of it at night. willing to drive up to an hour away. must actually contain water.
(this would be a huge help to me- thanks in advance!)

Hey -
Before this gets deleted as a promo for the Handmade Faire - I do have just reason to post it here! It is on the grounds of the former Lighthouse Camp for the Blind in Waretown NJ, which went abandoned for a few years and then was bought by the state, and now is a members only private land and many buildings. Not all buildings will be open to the public this day, but it's still a great opportunity to check out the premises, as well as shop some really great local artists from NJ!

( More info! Please come out! )

| scouting for locations |
[11 Mar 2008|05:33pm] |
Hm. Seems like this community isn't frequented too much but I'll give it a shot:
My friend and I are looking into visiting any haunted, abandoned, or strange locations in South NJ. We live in Gloucester County, so you can imagine our dismay to discover that most of the cool, creepy locations seem to be in the North. Travelling far isn't off-limits, but we'd just prefer closer places for our first forays into exploring like this.
I've done some research and have come across the Blue Hole in Winslow (said to be occupied(?) by the Jersey Devil) and Indian Curse Road in Deptford (deaths happened there), but that's all.
So if you know of any weird locations close to (or in) Gloucester or just in South NJ, please let me know!
Thanks.

Hey everybody! I traveled to Indian Cabin Road yesterday, which is a couple hours from where I live so it was quite a trip. Once there, I couldn't find the house with the Virgin Mary statue! Or the Krukker grave! Can anyone give me any tips about what off-shoot of Indian Cabin Road to take? There was one path that had a pole in it and a couple of tires, one of which ' no trespas' had been spray painted on...which we were thinking might be it since it's so homemade and weird (at least opposed to all the other no trespassing POSTED signs in the area).
Even though we didn't find what we were looking for, we went down one very narrow trail which endless bumps have been put in for four-wheelers...ugh, it was horrible on the car. It ended up coming out at an old, abandoned camp.
You can see all of the pics here: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/559474152mwuOJE?start=0
There were piles upon piles of STUFF there...bingo cards, strollers, shoes, mattresses...it made me think that a colony of homeless were living there, which really freaked me out. I'm sure some of it is left over from the camp, but we would find piles of random stuff on the side of the road at different locations.
Anyway, any help is much appreciated!

| Paulinskill Viaduct |
[28 May 2007|10:47am] |
Hello everyone!
Yesterday I made my first trip to the Paulinskill Viaduct. When you start driving/walking down the road towards it and you see it peaking over the trees...ahhh. Its a beautiful site. Climbing up took a lot out of me on such a hot day, though. When we finally reached the top, I was too chicken to go down into those holes. I mean, I'd go down into the first one, but climbing down those rungs backwards kind of freaked me out. So after going back down, we realized that there might be a much easier way to get inside the bridge. On one side there was a big log which you could climb up into the bridge. I was glad to see the inside. It was VERY cool there despite the heat. The temperature change was strange but great when you've been outside for so long.
I watched a video awhile back of a few people going through Paulinskill. It made it seem like when you went in-between parts of the bridge between boards, it was a very long drop. Turns out its only about three feet. When we were finishing up some other people drove up who were in their late 30s/early 40s. They seemed to be there for the same reasons we were, but hung around in the street a lot. If they're anyone on this board, hi! Anyway, afterwards we went down to the river to see the grave. I was pretty upset to see that the painting of the fish had been tampered with by kids. They drew teeth on the fish and crossed it out, etc. Not only was it commemorating someone's grave, but it really was a beautiful painting. I'm sad to see someone wrecked it.
I'd recommend visiting the place before someone decides to start using it again. Its very colorful and the scenery is beautiful.

| Picture Usage |
[24 May 2007|07:53pm] |
Hey, just wanted to rant for a moment about some Weird NJ-related pictures. There's this site, abandonedbutnotforgotten.com which I really love. It helps me find a lot of places and has opened my eyes up to a lot of lesser-known sites. Anyway, so I post my pictures here and on my Weird NJ forum whenever I visit a site. Turns out the guy who runs Abandoned But Not Forgotten used my pictures of the McCoy house on his site. While normally I'd have no problem with it, he just put it up without asking my permission or even mentioning it to me. I had absolutely no idea until I checked the site out of boredom. I'm afraid he won't answer my e-mails as he didn't respond to my one about the Lakawanna Dorms being torn down. Ugh. You can even see part of my friend in one of the pics! XP
