Hangout Room

Hangout Room

We followed a blood trail to this hangout room, you can see some stains on the sheets covering the couches.

This room was set on fire some time ago. Most of the useable furniture is just about gone but there are still a few items here and there. I can remember about a dozen "hang-out" rooms that went up in flames but someone always manages to set up another one.

Tenaj, which building and what room number? I'll run over and take a picture of it if it's still there. Since it was open for sixteen years after you left, it's probably no longer orange, but you never know.

The shot reminds me of a painting by the polish illustrator Jacek Yerka. Has a book out called "Mind Feilds". Look that up.

Unfortunately, this room was burned out. The one you saw is probably the one in the "C"s. If you climb out of the window onto the roof of the haunted hallway, it leads to the plastic-ware room on the second floor of the large auditorium. Be careful on the hallway roof, it's very unstable.

Wow! That's so wild that there are hang out rooms in Byberry. I heard that there was a guy who wandered Byberry with a machete.

You guys are a hell of a lot braver than I am! =P

Byberry might be creepy to some, but it's just an empty group of delapidated buildings.
The whole machete thing is just a bullshit story.

There are still a few hangout rooms left, you just need to know where to look. I know of a couple in N-8.

Did they have hangout rooms in N10 because I was in there when they had abatement going on when they chewed on the loading zone and all that?

A case of Bud and a couple of "HAPPY HOMES" doses on your tongue...Byberry was our hangout in the early 90's...especially the steam tunnels that hooked-up all the buildings...quickest entrance to the tunnels was through a door in the boiler room...jump through the hallway window and into the boiler room window.... escape point under the chapel and on the other side of Rt. 1, for when the cops arrived...and they always did...We actually had cops draw their guns on us!!! MAN we did some stupid shit back then....BLOOD!!! Whoever bleeds the most WINS!!!! Windows were punching bags that bit back.
