We left my house that day to feed my need for adventure of some kind. My cousin had told me about the band rooms in downtown attleboro being a cool place to wander around. All kinds of cool shit laying around from a few years before when it was in use. We couldn't find a suitable way in so we gave up pretty early on that location and Keith told me about how most of a state school was abandoned, so we drove over there to check it out.

I knew some of the place was not in use but I was relatively sure that it wasn't abandoned, and I was right. We drove up a long dirt road to the side of the school comming up a few hundred feet away from a few relatively small buldings. One of them mostly burned down.

As we Started walking I noticed a playground, rusted, flooded and under a sheet of ice. I thought It was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen. A car pulled up as I was getting closer to it snapping off pictures. I didn't know better at the time so I was initially freaked out by this, and I thought we were about to get into trouble. As it turned out she was there to walk her dog.

We continued towards the building furthest away from the car. We worked our way up a walkway to the second floor that was covered over in a massive pile of soil. We entered the building very easily. All of the doors were open and in some cases missing. The second floor was totally trashed. I noticed alot of very old animal cages, food, ect. There was a file cabinet in one of the rooms with various basic inforamion on horses, and dog breeds. We worked our way down a cement ramp to the bottom floor and went up another to the back room. This room was filled with old maintenence equipment and tools rusted to the point where some of them were deteriorating. we left heading into the stable area, there wasn't much there so we headed over to the next building.

The next building was a garage building with a huge bay. At the time I assumed it was just as abandoned as the last building but this one was locked up or some reason. I looked around for a way in and eventually found one but I wasn't able to carry the camera in that way. When I got in i noticed there was a truck that looked like it was in good running condition with a lanscaping companies name on the side. and an enourmous tractor next to. I'm guessing the school is renting out some of the buildings for storage. I got out of there right after that in case the owner of the stuff in there happened to drop by.

Finally we head to the building that had some pretty good fire damage. This building was completly open and had apparently been used for storage before, and even after the fire. We walked in and I pulled out the camera again. There was all kinds of furniture medical and even laundry euipment everywhere, In one room we found a box full of blood slides. In that same room there was several unopened bottles of lithium dated do expire about a decade ago and some paperwork of differnt kinds of medical equipment. there were too really long rooms parralell to each other, one ofthem completely empty and the other filled alomst to the roof with unorderly piles of office funtiture, restraint beds, and industial laundry equipment. I walked through the basement with no flashlight only noticing a small furnace, not noticing the other rooms due to the lack of light.

After venturing through the building we noticed a busted up trailer and a shack to the side, the trailer ended up being pretty boring and empty, but the shed however is home of one of my favorite pictures a busted up cracked fire hydrant that I've consided going back several times to unbolt and take home with me.

We decided we had done enough looking around there and tryed to figure out another place to go look at ruins. We Headed to Foxboro to check out second place keith was talking about.
