Hello! It's been a while since I've been here, mostly due to the hecticness of work. Still been busy, though - went to Kitchener for the first time and saw the Robson Lang Leathers factory, and I also got on top of some horse stables! Pretty good summer, all things considered.
Anyways, saw an entire block of boarded up shops and apartments, so naturally I had to take a peek. Getting into one of these apartments was surprisingly tricky, I had to first shimmy onto the roof and then from there climb down some rickety stairs and through a broken window.
I would not recommend this trip during broad daylight, as it is pretty easy to be seen getting onto the roof. Also, I would not recommend this trip to anyone who considers themselves exceedingly heavy, as the rickety stairs were shaking with my own weight and being stuck on that roof is not a pleasant prospect. (I weigh about 120 pounds, for reference.)
Additionally, I think some people were squatting in the unit I visited, so stay alert!
With all that out of the way, it was a neat little visit. There was nothing that blew my mind, and the interior was somewhat reminiscent of location #16266's apartments (with significantly less decay, of course). The view from the roof was quite pleasant, and I spent a good while admiring it while hiding from a guy on the street below for about twenty minutes. I couldn't find any other safe ways into the other units without plunging to my death or trapping myself, but it was still an interesting visit nonetheless!
