Anybody got a lair?

07-07-2004, 01:56 PM

I was just wondering, does anyone know of a place that they hang out at or go to once in a while which you think of as your own TMNT sewer lair?

Sounds a little crazy?

Well, a few years back my friends and I stumbled upon an abandoned underground garage. We went in it one day and found three sub-levels! the first sub-level (the top one) has a large grait at the top and a few other smaller graits around that let light into the place. There is a ramp that goes from the first sub-level to the second sub-level (we go down that thing with anything that has wheels!). There is two stair ways to get through the sub-levels. The third sub-level (the one at the bottom) is full of corridors and rooms; plus it's pitch black down there! We investigated the place and did some research; and we found out that there was supposed to be a residential building built on top of the proporty in the late 1970s but the project got abandoned with only the garage built.
20 years later we find the place and claim it for our selves (secretivly ofcourse

)! This summer, one of my friends is going to dive into the powerbox and try to get the electricity working (though this may cause problems).

If anyone has an interesting "lair", tell us about it!

WOW that's like moving from the sewer to the abandoned subway! All my places are small... But there're a few because I've moved around a lot.

There was a giant field behind my housing development in CA, it was between that and the church and there was a little alcove of bushes we'd hide in. It came complete with treasure too--a glow in the dark frisbee ^_^ It was neat to visit early in the morning because all the mornign glories opened up then and you'd have a great view of the sunrise. Plus...the church was abandoned on weekdays so >_> sometimes we'd run around there with disks that were supposed to be used in a game toss for a pool...we kinda...landed a couple on the roof of the church >_> That was middle school.

In elementry school, I'd wander in the "woods" behind all the houses and found a couple places with neat rocks and a river to travel down but nothing major.

Hmm... around college all the good spots are taken by people getting high -_- and my parents house just has lots of other houses around it, no good lair areas. Though on the way to college there's a bridge and if you look closely from it there's an old stone...thing... not a house, but some kind of structure like a small castle but it doesn't look lived in at all. I've always wanted to go explore it.

But my friend (in KS) found a really neat place--an abandoned skating rink with old rusting chairs half buried in the ground, it's awesome!

But wow, you've got SUBLEVELS, you should totally take pictures!! Also really cool that you actually took the time to find out what it was.

Well, my friend's apartment looks like Mikey actually lives there. Everywhere you go there's papers on the floor and remotes in various places. His fridge is mega-old and he buys snack food all the time. However, he has some Splinter-like qualities. Not the cleanliness, of course, but he's into herbs and spices and exotic foods.

His coffee table is never cleared off unless we're eating.....PIZZA.

Also, it's always stuffy and sometimes damp like a sewer lair...and I always seem to visit him more than he visits me. We always have get-togethers there with our other friends and watch football or pro wrestling while eating.....PIZZA.

So I guess what I'm saying is: my friend acts and lives like Mikey while I seem to always walk in like Casey. His apartment is a true lair.

That is realy cool! I've nothing like that, or even an underground bunker, But I hit the woods and some friends and I go caving and hiking all the time. It's usual the same people I spar and train with, so it's usualy a blast.

Well the local skate park serves as my lair. It has pizza,theres skating,and theres live music so i spend most my time there.

*Coola Yagami* · 07-08-2004, 12:23 AM

uh... the basement..?

well i never really hanged in the basement, but in my old house growing up my house was really a 2-floor house, but over time we just used the main floor as well.. the house, and the second floor was the basement. So basically speaking the basement was like a whole other house and i used to love to go down and explore and stuff. I wasn't in the tmnt phase yet, but there was always cool and old stuff to find down there.

Just down the road from my place are these massive giant silos used to store grain and to place it on the trains for freight. At night and some parts of the year all the workers are gone and you can climb the thing up this metal flight of stairs and the view from up there's awesome. Also there are platforms to go to the adjoing silo and theres this little room in the smaller one but it's too small to do anything with, fit 3 people at most. Also theres a small railway platform that hasn't been used in years. All the interior doors are boarded up but there are exterior doors that allow you to get into certain rooms. Wev'e been tempted to try and pry a few of the other doors open and see what the other rooms are like but have never bothered. I wouldn't call it a lair but it's a great place to go to screw around. Rumour has it the place is haunted as when the samller one was constructed it fell down and killed a few workers. Although Iv'e had ghost experiences and believe in them Iv'e never encountered a ghost there and Iv'e been there very late hours so I guess it's just a rumour.

my room is a bit like a lair. all thats missing is a toilet and a fridge! My friends live on a spit so I go out their alot. Thats kinda secretive-like!

Midnight_Tanuki · 07-11-2004, 11:08 PM

My house has one of those seperate basements where you have to go outside to enter. I love the place, I use my flashlight and go "spelunking" I found most of my ninja turtles down there that way.

Sara · 07-11-2004, 11:21 PM

I remember trying to build a little fort with my friends behind the house, past the wooden fence. It was in floirda, so you have the tropical bushes with the pricklies on them, so that idea when out fast as it came in. We kept trying to build our own lair so we could always escape our unruly parents.

I also now consider my apartment my own lair, it has all I need and it's a way to escape from everyone else since it is my own and I can call it my own.
