Today we’re going to be talking about something a little different: Urban Exploration.

Sincerest apologies for the delay in posting this month’s contest. I meant to schedule it to post in my absence while I was on a two-week jaunt in Alaska, but alas… I didn’t get that far before we left. I knew I was going to have limited Internet access, soContinue Reading
