Question of the day - are you an urban archaeologist (or would like to be one)?

Yesterday we published a piece on the decrepit abandoned Building 25 on the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center grounds. It was an amazing sight, and a classic space for urban archaeologists and explorers. Over the years, we’ve known people who love to go into abandoned buildings to explore and take photos. Some feel there is a lot of beauty in things like rust and piles of debris. So how about you – do you consider yourself an urban archaeologist or explorer? Do abandoned buildings call to you? Have you been on any adventures of this sort?
