>>2115486fun fax: there's an old mill in my town tucked away near one of the small rivers, the original/front brick building is super old, like 1825, and the large machine building sextion is a little newer, 1860 or so. it's almost entirely vacant now but various small businesses rent space in there for storage or whatever.
my friend's dad had been working for a wooden spool company housed in there and one day he went exploring. he got down into the catacombs under the building (used to be the canals and spillways that powered the machinery, the river no longer flows through the mill). he was exploring the tunnels and found a stack of wooden dynamite boxes stored away and the wood was all disintegrating and they were slumping down into sort of a pile
you fucking sneeze and that whole place could go up
