Anonymous asked: Yo Ive been doing Urbex in RVA for about a year now and its starting to get hard to find new places to check out. Ive hit up all the regulars like Fulton, Interbake, and others. I was just wondering If anyone had any new places Id be willing to swap some locations with them. hit me up at homicidaldonkey@aol.com
Got a very nice note from Graffiti Richmond about this post from a while back, apparently it was an accident! Abandoned Richmond loves that blog, by the way, and you all should definitely check them out!!

affairofthepoisons asked: Ha..are you kidding me? We've apparently shot all the same places. You should definitely see my Flickr. Look up Poison Affair Photography. Perhaps we should get together for adventuring :)

spent allllll day yesterday re-exploring Fulton Gasworks for a photoshoot with some local Richmond musicians, and got some great shots on the side as well!
we’re also planning explorations of some new spots, and re-explorations of old favorites… a bus depot, an industrial bakery, maybe some warehouses around town, and another look at the abandoned movie theater we’ve posted...

Hotel John Marshall renovations under way →
