The year started off with a march held at the National Underground Freedom Center to Fountain Square:
February rolled around and I took a weekend to come back from school to meet up with Zach and do a lot of exploring. From the Cincinnati Gardens, a Cincinnati hockey barn filled with history, lacking a major tenant...
...to the Crosley Building, the original home of 700 WLW and once a major production plant for Crosley Radios. First explored in Spring 2007, this was our second trip...
The February exploration weekend ended with me exploring houses that had been abandoned and demolished in the neighborhood I grew up in:
The site sat idle for awhile as I got really busy with school and work. I finally did some more exploring and photography in July when we explored an abandoned CSX switch house:
In August during the pinnacle of summer, myself and the other explorers uncovered three other abandoned locations in Cincinnati:
And my personal favorite from the summer:
In September my friend Sherman and I though it might be fun and interesting to explore Cincinnati infrastructure and get some new photographs of the city's highways and bridges:
School started again and I explored the school's abandoned state hospital:
Soon after, Republican presidential candidate John McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin made a stop as Cincinnati's Lunken Airport:
and a long standing abandoned structure in Cincinnati was demolished...
...if you were brave enough to climb to the top, the reward was an amazing, postcard view of Cincinnati.
In November I went flying over Kings Island, downtown and the surrounding area with my friend Gabriel:
Then the holiday season began:
In Avondale a pair of abandoned nursing homes were found:
After the nursing homes we searched for the abandoned "Ghostbusters" tunnel to no success. Snow began to fall:
And eventually the "Ghostbusters" tunnel was found beneath the city streets:
A new year began...
I have a lot of stuff backlogged that hasn't been posted yet. Lots of more "abandoned" explorations from the Cincinnati area will be up shortly. Thanks everyone for reading throughout the year and for visiting the site. I promise it will be updated more often in 2009 with more.
Just a sneak peek at what's to come...

I was too chicken to go to English Woods by myself. But man did I want to.
