Abandoned Winery - Interior

So several months back I posted some exterior shots of an abandoned winery that I discovered on the South side of Atlanta. Well, some time later as I was driving by I noticed the place was wide open - doors and all - so I stopped by and snapped some photos of the inside.

DEFCON 16 Slides Available

If you are attending DEFCON this year (or just want to see my slides), the final incarnation of my slides are available here: http://phreakmonkey.com/dc16-ue.zip The slides on the DEFCON CD are out-of-date.

Also, thanks to everyone who came out to the EFF party last night!

My talk is on Saturday at 3:00pm, track 5. :-)

EDIT 2008.08.12:

Another year, another DEFCON gone by.  A quick THANK YOU to everyone who makes DEFCON possible (if you attended that includes you!), and thanks to everyone who attended my talk or walked up to me at some point during the con to share your personal Urban Exploration experiences!  It was a lot of fun.  See you next year!

Abandoned Towing / Distribution Center

In South Central Atlanta, in the shadow of the freeway, sits this forgotten structure. The shape and layout indicates it was once a shipping / distribution center, but the most recent paperwork laying around shows that it's last purpose was as a towing and impound lot.

It looks to have been closed and abandoned sometime in the mid 90's.

There was a fire in the office section, judging from the smell and damage it was fairly recent.
