Hey all! Welcome to another episode of “Mr. P.’s Tales from the Road!” In this episode, we delve into some serious issues that many have been noticing in our local urban exploration communities; the rise of and mayhem caused by “goblin” explorers who break in to legitimate and open businesses, wreck these places up and record their malfeasance in the name of “urbex.” We’ll also discuss the ever-creeping pseudo-exploration of AI videos and false photography. Some somber but important topics to ponder, so crack open a cold one, toss together some mac-n-cheese, settle in wherever you are, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great week and we’ll see you in the next episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of “Mr. P.’s Tales from the Road!” In this episode, we take a look at the abandoned music halls and ballrooms and theaters that once heralded in a sonic movement of sound that shaped our modern world, and which provided the youth of yesteryear a place to become more than the sum of their parts through shared experiences and sheer energetic magic. We’ll be looking at the Vanity and Grande Ballrooms of Detroit, Michigan as well as the sad remains of the Palace in Gary, Indiana. This is only part one of the episode, so stay tuned for the continuation, where we head back to my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio for the finale! Tales will be told and history will flow, so warm yourself up with an adult beverage of choice, make a big simmering pot of chili, settle in wherever you are, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great week and we’ll see you in the next episode! -Mr. P.
