The Kohrman Report: April 2008

http://kohrman.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Leader of the a-team. Tuesday, April 08, 2008. The other day I paid a return trip to a little place I had first visited. The Acme Coke plant is just about all that remains of Chicago's steel industry. But not for long, its days are numbered. In fact, my previous visit was cut short due to demolition activity. So I was unsure how much I would be able to see, or how much was left to see. The wooden quenching tower still rises above the scene like a black skeleton. Even taller are the twin concrete smok...

The Kohrman Report: July 2008

http://kohrman.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Leader of the a-team. Sunday, July 27, 2008. All of the left field structure, seen here, has now been demolished. Http:/ www.savetigerstadium.org/. Saturday, July 19, 2008. With the end of the 1999 season the Tigers foolishly abandoned one of the greatest and most historic ballparks ever built. There still may be a chance to save sections of the ballpark by homeplate.

The Kohrman Report: June 2008

http://kohrman.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Leader of the a-team. Wednesday, June 18, 2008. I make no secret of the fact that hotels are my favorite kind of building. It is hard to say why I find them so interesting, but I do. And finding new hotels to photograph always makes for a banner day. Still, the Waldo was one of the finest hotels around for many years. But it eventually shut down and was converted to apartments and offices. These in turn have closed, leaving the old hotel abandoned and falling apart. The second floor was a mix of large ro...

The Kohrman Report: February 2008

http://kohrman.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Leader of the a-team. Friday, February 29, 2008. February was a rather slow month for my camera. I really haven't had any insane expeditions to talk about. Sorry, nothing new and exciting. But I did make a couple of return trips to the abandoned air force base. My first return trip was alone. DK went to an abandoned building alone? You would at least think that the different sections of the building would have had corridors painted in different colors. And I might add that each wing has double-corridors&...

The Kohrman Report: October 2007

http://kohrman.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Leader of the a-team. Thursday, October 25, 2007. Demolition of Jacob Riis Elementary began a few weeks ago. Day by day a near-century old landmark is making way for a park. Why settled for the view out the living room window? Wednesday, October 10, 2007. But I know fresh photos of ruins are demanded of me, so when I stumbled upon the long-abandoned ruins of the Wo Wo Wash while walking to check out the first night's venue I knew I had set aside my selfish fun and resolved to crack it. Too bad those fudd...

The Kohrman Report: September 2008

http://kohrman.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Leader of the a-team. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. Two years. Time may pass but you will never be forgotten. Seth Thomas, aka Dev, was a great explorer, great photographer, great friend, and most importantly a great guy. Http:/ www.futurespeak.net/myopic/. Tuesday, September 16, 2008. Something a tad different from my usual. Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Album Cover For Some Crappy Emo/Goth Band". In some areas, long fallen into ruin, the heaters still whir and the lights still flicker. The hospital was...

The Kohrman Report: The Birdcage

http://kohrman.blogspot.com/2009/06/birdcage.html

Leader of the a-team. Wednesday, June 03, 2009. Every now and then you come across a building that is a true time-capsule, a wonderfully intact example of past construction. One such example can be found in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania; the People's National Bank. And after sitting empty for several years, fortunately life is now being breathed back into it. I mean, wow! The upper floors are equally impressive. In addition to the iron birdcage elevators, there is a large open staircase with beautiful iro...

The Kohrman Report: November 2007

http://kohrman.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

Leader of the a-team. Saturday, November 24, 2007. Fighting in Built Up Areas. Today's post is a blast from the past, Studebaker. I felt the need for an update, and the need to be alone. It was my first visit to the once-world's greatest industrial ruin since last winter. The work of Albert Kahn, the complex of huge buildings was too vast for words or pictures to describe. And what buildings! And with that, I made my way to 85. The conditions were similar to my last visit, frigid and wet. But I quick...
