Paradiiiiiiiiiise!

Kinda miss it, but kinda don't.

Miss a couple of the folks I see in those pics a lot more.

P.S. don't shit in the elevator tower or else someone you've never met will move in a year later and clean it up ragefully and then eventually become your fiancee.

i recall hearing about an 8 story squat in philly. apparently the higher the story the more intense the drinking and partying; if you had a room around the 8th or 7th floor, people would just walk in and take over i guess. and i heard the elevator shaft was filled with two stories worth of trash... ALL HEARSAY.

i guess it sucks that its being torn down?

I can only think of two buildings in philly where this would be possible, and i've never heard of either of them being used like that. One was the Goldtex building on 12th and Pearl, 12 stories on the edge of downtown. It was mostly crackheads and heroin junkies living in there, and for the most part they only stuck to the basement.

The other is the Beury Building on N. Broad, i can't remember how many stories. I only know of a couple scrappers who frequented the place. I do know that the owner (who is currently in prison for this) was paying bums and crackheads to throw all the asbestos down the elevator shafts. I never saw any signs of squatting though, mostly because the place is a death trap and is threatening to cave in on itself and/or broad street.
