The Northern Central Grain Elevator in Baltimore once was the largest grain terminal on the East Coast of the United States. Inside was a maze of pipes and some of the foulest water I've ever encountered, possibly an unholy, decades-old dirt-beer from whatever was left inside.

@AbandonedAmerica I love this stuff. I have been fascinated with ruins and decay for literally as long as I can remember. I blame “London Bridge Is Falling Down”, the first book I clearly remember reading by myself, around age 3. It opened with a two-page spread of the bridge collapsing, and I’d spend hours studying the image. Hey, it was 1968! We didn’t have YouTube or Nintendo back then! We did what we could with what we had! (Adjusts belt onion, yells at clouds.)
