Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, I go back to a discussion I had with you all way back in my first season of this podcast, a reboot and retelling of what I called a “Love Letter to the City of Detroit, Michigan,” to explain just why I continue to go back to the Motor City over and over and over again. Naturally, tales and history abound, so grab a cold Red Pop Faygo out of the refrigerator, snag a few Coney Dogs from Duly’s Place on Vernor in Detroit , listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we head to Buffalo, New York to explore the dark underbelly of its urban landscapes, sliding into the shadowy tunnels, old brick passageways and underworld drains of the Queen City in an adventure a few years in the making. Cold, black water, miles of passageways and places long forgotten await, and as always, tales and history abound, so grab a solid beer out of the fridge, make up a few tacos, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we hop into a Mr. Fusion-powered DeLorean and head back to the 1980’s to talk about movies that inspired a personal exploratory drive for yours truly; the 1980’s were THE GOLDEN AGE for cinematic adventures, and here, I’ll talk about three of my favorite flicks that really got me into the exploring business at a young age. From pirate adventures to melting Frenchmen to railway hikes, we’ll talk about three of the best movies that the decade of my childhood had to offer; As always, tales will be told and plenty of smoky theatered, sticky floored movie history will abound, so procure a large fountain cola and a giant bag of buttery popcorn in the lobby, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we head back to the City of Brotherly Love to find out about how the future once looked like to the eyes of those designing it in the 1970’s, via a controversial yet intriguing style of architecture called BRUTALISM. It’s not all dry history here; I promise the tale leads somewhere, as by the end, I’ll be telling tales of the best example of abandoned Brutalism I’ve ever had the opportunity explore and document; the infamous Pepper Middle School in Philadelphia, PA! Tales told and history abounds, so procure an icy cola of your choice, make yourself a cold-cut sandwich with some Swiss cheese on top, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we again go back to the questions asked by listeners over the last few weeks and drop some answers and stories in return! Q and A has become one of my favorite types of episodes as your questions always jog loose stories and memories that I’ve completely forgotten about! Tales, answers and, of course, some history abound, so grab a cold beverage of choice, grab a snack out of the pantry, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we head back to the City of Brotherly Love on a hastily planned, last minute whirlwind weekend in-n-out trip to attempt a bucket list location that had been closed down and sealed up for many years. A mammoth century old rust palace and epic monument to electrical generation on the shore of the Delaware River awaited us after a long, long drive. Behold the truly gargantuan scale of construction our forefathers were capable of as we plumb the architecture, history and secrets of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s Richmond Generating Station. As always, tales and history abound, so crack open an ice cold cream soda, dream of Philly cheese-steaks while you eat something perhaps less heavenly, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we look at one of those subjects that tend to get overlooked in urban exploration circles and are often passed by when we visit major cities to do our adventuring; graveyards, cemeteries and mausoleums. Cities of the Dead. “Boneyards” in the more colloquial settings. So, get yourself ready for a dive into a different type of explore this week, because we’ll be diving into three cemeteries in three very different locations and settings to lay down some stories. As always, tales and history abound, so grab a cold hard cider, grill up a cheeseburger with all the fixin’s, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we look at a very strange, out-there and rather controversial idea; the concept that an abandoned building holds to the energy of those who have inhabited it over the space of its life, creating a sort of “personality” unique to that building. A “spirit of place” as the ancient Romans would have thought of it. Weird enough? Absolutely. The episode is a little different than most and hopefully gives some food for thought, but as always, tales, some strange ideas and some history (and even a little bit of ancient mythology!) abound, so snag a crispy beverage (adult or otherwise), whip up some macaroni and cheese, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we head back to the tired and sullen streets of Gary, Indiana to check out a grand old school on its last legs and a decaying, mildewy “old school” department store, as well as relate a “bando foodie” experience in a city where cuisine is hard to come by. As always, tales and history abound, so snap open an ice cold Pepsi, nuke some quesadillas in the microwave, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road. This week, we head back to the place where the Monongahela, Alleghany and Ohio Rivers come together, the Rust Belt steel town of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to tell a tale of three forgotten and decaying churches and the secrets that lie within their dim and crumbling walls, as well as look at the final resting place of a 1980’s movie icon’s missing bicycle (among a labyrinth of others!) As always, tales will abound, so pop a frosty brew of choice, dig into a big, steaming bowl of Campbell’s Chunky Soup, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.
