Lmao my husband explored this mill back in the early 2000s and him and his friend to the top of the mill and put an old Soviet flag at the top. 😂 It was taken down within a week.
@@EvanBrenna It's usually at the owner's discretion. When we were caught he claimed he had already called the cops, and told us we should leave before they got there. We were both 16 at the time and we didn't feel like getting a trespassing ticket, so we left. We didn't see any cops there when we drove away, but we definitely weren't gonna risk calling the owner's bluff lol. Overall, our experience with getting caught is that you'll most likely be kicked out if you aren't vandalizing or stealing anything, but again, it depends on where you're caught, who catches you, and what you're caught doing. Hope this answers your question.
Yeah, the milling operations officially ceased in 1971, but the businesses surrounding the area have made many attempts to revitalize it or convert it for their uses, but to no avail... The brewery that owns the land now has plans for demolition and they're proposing to build on the site it's currently on.
We were relatively new to urbex when we made this video, but keep in mind that every location is different in the hazards that it contains. This one has lots of places where one could slip and fall to their deaths. There are also unstable staircases and platforms that could collapse without warning. A good rule of thumb is to never do anything that you don't feel comfortable doing. Always go prepared with a first aid kit, flashlights or headlamps with extra batteries, cell phone and gloves. We'd rather our viewers not try these things, but obviously we can't stop you, but just do it as safely as possible.
Not a place to take lightly navigating around. In my younger years knew a young kid that survived a 100 plus Foot fall in that building. He was in a body cast for many months after. He was able to walk again. Fell trough the holes in the floors .Wasn't a easy place to get into back in 85.
Great question! In a place like this you will likely be charged with trespassing, but additional charges such as breaking and entering, vandalism, theft, armed trespass, etc could be placed on you depending on the situation and the evidence you are prosecuted with. We have never been charged with trespassing when we've been caught because we bring cameras (It usually goes better for you if you are holding a camera and not spray paint). We don't steal or vandalize things, and we don't arm ourselves or force entry into these places. If you follow these rules, the most they'll do is kick you off the property and charge you with trespassing. "Take only pictures, leave only footprints."
Yeah, there have been a few deaths and major injuries at these mills and elevators... Here's an article: m.startribune.com/a-brief-history-of-mpls-grain-mill-deaths-and-injuries/310087981/
Because on our very first visit (almost 3 years ago now) we ran into the owner of that brewery and he called the cops on us. We figured it wasn't worth the risk of getting caught again.
Cops were on my ass here as well, we had to run through that creek and up a hill because we were surrounded. Go to a different place cops always bust kids here

I love the history you provide in the videos. Even down to the music of that time. Thanks for sharing.
Why in the hell did you guys take such a hard journey there 😂😂 there is a bridge like 100 ft away
We were caught here 2 years prior to the filming of this video, and didn't want to chance getting caught again.
@@theworldofyesterday4151 what happens when you get caught? Fines? Jail time? Or just a warning?

@@EvanBrenna Happy to help.
I didn't realize it closed in 1971, I coulda sworn I saw the MN&S spotting cars at that mill in the mid 1970's.

Hehe, Im friends with owner of the shop with VWs.(further performance)
Is this a bad place for beginner explorers?

We literally just walked past the buildings beside it and no one saw/said a word lol

Great video guys. I love this mill. Never been inside but I see it often and I hope they don’t demolish it.
watch 4 the holes in the ground! v deep v scary
Still a good video though! I used to metal detect that area quite often before I moved from Mpls
We just went there not long ago like 2 am 😤
Nike.Julioo is it full of hobos or no kuz I’ve her it is and that’s why I haven’t gone
Lmao..... Take this down you're blowing up the spot
I have a better way in and I can get in anytime I want.
KiefToker67 the place seems so secured, how did you get past security?
We appreciate your input. Know we have corrected the issue of posting entrances in future videos.
It still pisses me off I never got to climb to the top of the silo when I was there back in 2015.
My mom lived right by there 😭 I always wondered wtf was in there

@@theworldofyesterday4151 could you send me location i went to United crushers but now I wanna explore this one now
Hey if been here befor
Bruh I just walk over to the brewery and auto shop and cut through over there
Just subbed to your channel, like to share the support to new channels on you tube , great videos, Cheers, Ricky.
Thank you for the comment, it means a lot coming from our viewers. Do stay tuned as we will be uploading season 2 within the next two weeks.
had fun exploring the abandoned green mill
Its Wreckz Likewise.
Why did you cross the creek, I walked up from the other side. People at Further Performance and the brew don't care.
Because on our very first visit (almost 3 years ago now) we ran into the owner of that brewery and he called the cops on us. We figured it wasn't worth the risk of getting caught again.
@@theworldofyesterday4151 ohh gotcha, I guess I was pretty lucky, cause I've gone there like 4 times lol
You should really think about not posting entrances on your videos.
zrmodman no one even watches them anyways
Noted. We have corrected this issue in future videos.
@@theworldofyesterday4151 where is this at I’ve been to United crushers but I wanna go to this now is it in the area ?
