I was told by a neighbor of the candy factory that Charter School nows owns it. Is that the same as the one mentioned. I explored it in 2012 but went back this year and it is locked up tight and doors tack welded shut.

I was there a couple of weeks ago. They are continually closing entrances to the building, but people are also opening new ones in response. I've had to use three different entrances the last three times I was there.

Just watch the white house with detached garage right behind it. That dudes Shepard is on high alert and has a pass through to the factory property.

I've seen that dog so many times. I had no idea it could get through. XD Bad experience to tell us about?

Went there about 2 weeks ago for my 3rd time overall. Its had one entrance by the rear skatepark (or what once was). However, the entrance, from what I remember, doesn't lead to the rest of the building (atleast easily, anyway). Just a heads up for anyone trying to get in.

Is the door in the loading docks still open? That led to the whole building or is that what you're referencing?

I'd love to know if this is still accessible. Anyone been recently?

The loading/storage does led to the main buildings but take a good light.

If you go up there pay attention to the fence. See if there is still a pass through to the white house. The man that lives there pays close attention to the factory and his Shepard guards the factory via the pass through.

We checked all of those doors. I was referring to the open window (board knocked in) that lead to the basement area (near the make shift skatepark). That part does not go to the main building EASILY from what I remember.

When I went in the back of the large warehouse/garage side. I had to use my camera flash to see where I was walking for a good ways till I found a stair case. Have not been inside since then and know I missed some things like the roof. Don't recall finding an office area either.

The one door to the left of the loading dock is where I exited from the first time. It is now welded shut.
