City Profile // Undisclosed Atlanta

Atlanta has many hidden gems.  Great hole in the wall restaurants, serene nature hide outs, and abandoned buildings.  Explore yourself or ask your other ATL native friends what their secret spots are and you're sure to find something you didn't know existed.  One of my favorite visits so far has been an abandoned prison. (I think) it's technically Atlanta government property so (I think) it is illegal to be on the property but so is the life of an urban explorer.

It's a super interesting place.  Pretty trashed overall and covered in graffiti.  Although some of the graffiti is just tags and penis' some of it is really artful. The garbage and debris everywhere is actually intriguing. There are still old jail cots and cafeteria benches strewn about in pieces.  You can walk down the cell blocks. A lot of the cells are locked shut but have been broken into (irony).

I've visited a working prison and that feeling was kind of shock.  Coming to this abandoned prison it wasn't shock it was a more invested interest because everything about what was happening is unknown to you.  I want to say it was in use in the 90's and then there was a fire there sometime in 2014.

There isn't much else to say and i won't bore you with words any longer.  Below is a gallery of some of my favorite photos from one of my visits.  If you do seek this place out; be safe and bring a flashlight.
