Spent 4 hours trying to get past a single locked door in the old Sunrise Mall

Turns out the whole back wall of the food court was a false front, and the real way in was through a busted vent in the parking garage. Anyone else run into a spot that was WAY more sealed up than it looked from the outside?

Man, that's wild. I once spent a whole afternoon circling an old factory, convinced a door had to be somewhere. Everything was solid brick. Finally noticed one window on the second floor had a cracked pane. Had to haul a busted shopping cart over to even reach it. The obvious way in is almost never the real way in.

That shopping cart climb by susana66 is next level commitment. I would have given up after the first solid brick wall. These places really do hide their secrets in the dumbest spots.

Read about an old hospital like that. The main doors were welded shut and every ground floor window was bricked over. People spent months checking it. The real entry was a coal chute around the back, half buried under dirt and leaves. Makes you wonder how many spots we walk right past because the entrance isn't where you'd expect.
