I had my heart set on locating the abandoned City of Paris/No. 7 mine. Not Paris France, Paris BC. Never hard of it? Neither had I until I moved to Big White, BC for the summer and was looking for another urbex adventure. Development of the City of Paris Mine began in 1898 and by …
You wouldn't know it was a cold war fallout bunker, especially when on the front of the building there's a sign that reads Kitchener-Waterloo Rowing on the front of it. I’ve lived here all my life, but for a few years, and had I not known of its existence from stories, I’d be none the …
I was driving to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (say that 10 times fast) to visit some friends. As I traveled down Highway 16, about 55 km on the other side of Yorkton (from Manitoba) when a domed roof of an old Ukrainian Orthodox church peek out on the right side just over the horizon. It was fairly …

It has been a hot minute since I’ve posted … I’ve been embroiled in a landlord/tenant matter, wherein I repossessed my home from crappy tenants and have spent the better part of the last 6 weeks renovating it - they left it in such a shambles (ugh) … I’ll post on that separately, they completely …

This past weekend we explored the well-known urbex site - the Pastor Lee House in Haldimand County, Ontario. It's been abandoned forever, has unfortunately been "trashed" and is still a time capsule of bizarre oddities. The video accompaniment to this blog can be viewed here. Trust me it's worth the watch!

This weekend I did another awesome urban explore at an old abandoned factory in town. I’m not gonna share the exact location. You may think it’s ridiculous to not share the location of a place you’ve explored. It is an abandoned building after all, what’s the big deal? The reason I don’t share location information …
