Oh, yeah, it's doing great. Ministry of Magic just played there this past weekend, and Mae is coming next weekend for their third show in two-ish years.
Urban Exploring at ISU

When I was in with the bells we were trying to be quiet, we had permission to be there but we were trying to avoid a bunch of people calling the cops and wasting everyone's time. Anyway, on the way down my foot caught the cable to the biggest bell and we all kindof looked at each other and then started laughing, which was louder than the bell. Good times.
Can anyone guess where this picture was taken?:wink:

It is simply an engineer v. architect blast. I will spell it out for you: sterotypical engineers like straight lines and no wasted space; stereotypical architects like no straight lines and build wasted space for 'feel'. In reality, yes, it is a cool building.
But, just think how many more classrooms would have fit in a square building without that crap in the middle (couldn't resist). :smile:
I wanted to revisit the Friley-Dodds Hall rooms story. (If anybody cares, it's back on page 4 or 5.)
Yes, those are the rooms in question. They are at the very end of the hall. The only traffic down that way was to go to the laundry. There was a single bath/shower down that hall, it was the "guest" bathroom :wink:, then the "dungeon" was way at the west end. Most people didn't know that anybody lived down there.
They must have converted those rooms to shop areas between '92 and '95 because those rooms were most definately student rooms when I was on Dodds. I was down there a few times. So if the story has any merit at all, we've narrowed the timeline down. It's still a creepy story. :wideeyed:

Still loving this.
I can vouch for that tunnel map being quite old. That is the same map on the same site that I looked at in 2004 prior to attending ISU.

Are there tunnels underneath the Lincoln Way/Welch intersection or somewhere around there because I remember hearing stories from my dad that he had a friend that lived in the basement of I think the old Peoples and they could get into tunnels down there and wonder (this would have been in the 70's). Would these be the steam tunnels everyone talks about?

Stumbled across those videos here. I came across that post a few years ago and bookmarked it since it seemed interesting. Guess I wasn't the only one intrigued by the story.
No real interesting stories from me. I lived in Birch two years ago in a house with no signs of life after midnight. I was usually up until 2 or 3 in the morning and always got the creeps from the building, especially on weekends when no one was there. Usually the same thing taking my girlfriend home to Oak-Elm late at night. That said, I hate old buildings and have an overactive imagination...

When I was there in the early 90s, I had some friends that went biking somewhere west of campus. They came across a big sign from the U.S. Dept of Energy (I think) warning people to stay at least 20 feet away. Being idiots, they kept going and ended up seeing a bunch of dudes in hazmat suits carrying trays around. Later on, one of them had a professor who said that after the Manhattan Project, they dumped a bunch of plutonium or something out there and were finally cleaning it up some 45 years later.
The only other story I have about exploring on campus was when the plumbing went out in my fraternity & we had to crap on campus. After a few days, we all agreed that Alumni Hall had the finest crappers on campus. The basement of the Union was nice too, but not as secluded.

Every time I've driven past he's been out there in the van. Every single time, and I've been out there five or six times at different times in the afternoon and night. If you're just planning on a slow drive-by, go anytime. If you're planning on getting close to it on foot, best of luck! :wink:
