Hey there, all! Welcome to "Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road" with Mr. P. Explores; going back to my old radio daze and continuing on the thread of my love for telling a good story, I've decided to give the whole "Podcast/talking at people on the YouTubes" thing a stab, focusing on...well, "Tales from the Road," where every episode I tell a few stories from urban exploration adventures, talk photography, discuss history and oddball happenings, maybe answer a few questions from listeners and whatever else may come to mind! No idea where this is going to go, but hopefully you'll enjoy the ride!

Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road - S03E015 - Castles in the Air - Skyscraping in Dayton, Ohio
Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we head down the Gem City, the Rust Belt city of Dayton, Ohio to rummage around inside of an abandoned and rather disconcerting dry cleaners and then scale a time-warped twenty story skyscraper that has been abandoned for years. Sore legs, beautiful views and a rich hipster’s 1970’s crash pad await; as always, tales and history abound, so grab a square piece of Dayton-style pizza, suck down a cold, fizzy bottle of anything, 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!

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road!

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.
