Wisconsin is a single party consent state when it comes to recording. I decided to call back the detective seeing as I had nothing to lose. It became clear during the course of our conversation that he had little to go on and was looking for any information.

Teddy Smith has created this incredibly eerie video montage of the abandoned Six Flags New Orleans theme park. The park was boarded up for Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The level of devastation brought on by the storm destroyed the park. It has been closed ever since.

Requiem For Detroit is a British documentary on the history of a city that once embodied the American Dream. This fascinating documentary features many urbex locations throughout. Keep an eye out for them while watching and listen closely to their histories. Urbex locations are more than just abandoned buildings. They each have a story to tell that spans the past, present and future.
