the abandoned Tower Automotive building on Sterling Road

yesterday i was jogging along the rail path when i paid careful consideration to the abandoned Tower Automotive building located on Sterling, which is clearly visible from the path. you can see that it has graffiti and street art all over it, so after i was done my 75 minute jog, i grabbed my camera and decided to explore it.

unfortch, it was already past dusk, and i was a female wandering around an abandoned building all by myself in the unlit darkness.  i didn’t feel particularly safe, so i didn’t stay long or do as much exploring as i wanted to. i hopped the chain fence to photograph the graff on the outside of the building (ME! HARDCORE!), but didn’t go so far as to actually enter the building.

it was so dark and creepy, and i didn’t have a flashlight or anything.

does someone wanna explore this with me next time?

anyhoo, i quickly explored the exterior and found some gems (before hopping the fence again and running away like a scaredy cat).

i see this woman’s face everywhere! i dunno who is behind her, but i’ve found her previously in kensington, and along the rail path. artist is wicked talented, whoever he/she is.

someone wheatpasted a photograph of albert ayler onto the exterior. i wonder why, it’s such an interesting choice.

freeeeeeeeeeeeky.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly.

joel, you be errrr-where.

it’s the Listen Bird! I’ve followed this bird all over the city and in Montreal! Who is behind this, I love this!

“night of the wild dogs” indeed.

fuck yeah.

death 2010!

next step: bring bolt-cutters, enter building, photograph artistic genius, not get caught, run like hell.
