Scooter says, "Happy Friday!"

A morning quickie: "Urban Blight Porn"

A few months ago, I wrote about the slow demolition of the Gates Rubber Factory.

New controversy: a college student, Eugene Elliot, is trying to get a historical designation for the land and building. I believe this to be a naive and selfish endeavor, despite my great affection for the site. Oh, and by the way? He's an urban explorer. There might just be an (illegal) ulterior motive there!

Today, Westword chronicles the building in a slide show of pictures taken by urban explorers and other enthusiasts. Love these!
