Hello, hi! If it pleases you, please briefly describe to me one of your favourite memories that cost absolutely nothing or practically nothing, but has stuck with you! Peak broke life, I could say.
I'll start with that one time me and a friend climbed on top of a roof (via ladders and walkways, not the tiles, the roof was safe) at four in the morning to drink over-brewed cheap tea from a thermos, talked and looked at the clouds instead of sleeping.

On Saturday and Sunday mornings I would hang out with the NYC urban explorers group. We'd go into all of these abandoned places, the Highline (before it was a park it was a hidden wilderness) the Freedom Tunnel, subways and basements, the aqueduct and Highbride park ... each of us would take turns being the tourguide and finding a new place to impress the others. The guide would tell the story of the place in the place itself. Sharing how we found it, and why it was abandoned.

Another memory is simply putting a bunch of books on tape on a cheap mp3 player and walking around the college campuses in the city listening to "The Culture" series. The culture series is forever connected to community college basements in my mind.

If you want to explore ruins in a big city Sunday or Saturday morning is the best time. There are few people around and also few cops.
After 9/11 we had to be a little more cautious because for a few years security got a bit intense. Having a camera helps since we were there to take photos. Or we'd stop and just sketch in our notebooks for a bit.

@sinituulia In college, a friend and I biked out to the nearby reservoir, which is surrounded by a constructed berm/hill because it’s in a pretty flat area, so we could watch meteors while being able to see almost the entire sky (because we were at about the same height as the surrounding trees).
