Meeting Lanny

On Saturday I adventured with Sarah to an old (not so) abandoned building on the Detroit River near Hiram Walker's and the train station. As it turns out there is an old man named Lanny "protecting" (aka living in?) this building. He wouldn't let us in and nearly scared the pants off of us when he caught us in the elevator shaft.  It was one of our more interesting and hysterical adventures and definitely the most odd.  We took some great photos though. Here are some of them:

This was right before I was caught by Lanny
The bottom right hand corner of the building here is where we managed to sneak into the elevator shaft for a couple minutes before Lanny discovered us.
The tracks here aren't in use anymore.
Apparently there used to be a bicycle recycling center at the back of the building here. On the door next to this spot someone had painted "Where there is a wheel....there is a way.... - Baycity Wheelman 1868"


You can see Lanny creeping us from the top floor.

There was a car and a painting of a ship through these doors.
