Its a play on the word Corporate... and that giant rat race that we are all trapped in.
Having done my time working for the corporations and the government; now I am a free rat.
I am a field engineer for a telecommunications group in the day
... an Urban Explorer by night.
I enjoy my work, my exploring, and even the photography. This is my story...
Emergency Power
Heading into the depths of the Powerhouse our group finds many interesting machines.
We reactivate the Emergency Lighting, setup a 'base camp' and began some individual Explorations.
My personal search would take me deep inside the oldest part of the factory.
Henry Ford
"... and then he shined that portable Edison Lamp in my eyes !"
I have not felt this much amiss since I had to take the company back after Edsel's death. Oh that was a loss, I still feel it like yesterday.
But I digress. - I am not sure where I was but I remember I went to the Powerhouse; to see why there were no lights on in my factory.
Even at night the great boilers, that power the factory, along with some of the housing, should not be fully damped...
I remember being in the cold and dark basement of the Powerhouse looking for something... and then he shined that portable Edison Lamp in my eyes !
That brought me awake. Such a brightness I can not recall having seen in an Edison Lamp before, my first thought was to ask him; "What model of light is that that my friend Edison has made?" But I remembered that Alva was dead.
They call me "The Kid"... I am interested in the Server Room
They call me "The Kid"
Yeah, I know its kinda silly, and sometimes I wish they would stop. But a names a name. You don't have to call me twice either.
Some of these people here are more than a little nuts too.
Oh well, like the "old man", CorpRatt, always says - "Sure Beats Sitting on the Couch don't it Boy."
I am on this trip for one thing, the server room. Well that, and because they let me bring my girl.
These days, a Girl has to look out for herself.
Sure I like a bit of adventure. I like a bit of wildness with the kid too. ;)
I came along because I want to see "Executive Country." I saw those Jets the Execs flew to Washington DC.
This girls gonna see what she can see, find what she can find.
Damned Executives are not the only ones that need to make some money.
Plus I saw this place as a little girl. It was like a great living city to me then - A starship even. Now its dead! WTF !
They call me the Machinist
I once to worked in some of the machine shops around Atlanta.
Fabrication was my specialty, that and the lathe.
Now I am retired. I have a nice home shop though and can still build anything you can draw.
Hopefully I will get to explore some of the Heart and Guts of this huge place.
Why ?What the hell do your mean why?? ;)
An Unexpected Meeting
It's me, CorpRattX
The rest of our crew; of Urban Explorers each headed off in a different directions to find the items they are interested in.
I hear someone coming my way...
Hidden Rooms and Other Interesting Things...
Hi its me again, the girl in the group. Executive Country is pretty impressive even with all the furniture gone.
I am taking a closer look at some rooms I saw earlier on the way to the front of the building.
Wow, Look at all the things I found!! Hidden Bathrooms, a Professional Chef Kitchen, a cedar paneled Hidden Dining Room. a bathroom with marble and tile hidden in a room labeled "Telephone Closet."
Quite a few other things too... take a look !
