Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we again go back to the questions asked by listeners over the last few weeks and drop some answers and stories in return! Q and A has become one of my favorite types of episodes as your questions always jog loose stories and memories that I’ve completely forgotten about! Feral dogs, how to handle graffiti tags, weird vibes at night and more today as we get into listener inquiries. Tales, answers and, of course, some history abound, so grab a cold beverage of choice, grab a snack out of the pantry, 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!” In this episode, I make some late night confessions on how things have been going personally in the realm of urban exploration and then dive into the collapsing and long-since-demolished shambles that were the Cleveland Union Stockyards in Cleveland, Ohio. Tales of meat, stampeding animals, turn-of-the-century municipal cleanliness issues and a severely dangerous structure are coming your way! Tales abound, so grill up a juicy cheeseburger with all the fixin’s, crack open a cold canned fizzy beverage of choice, listen in and enjoy the show!

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of “Mr. P.’s Tales from the Road! "In this round, we take a look at what exactly the art of urban exploration is, what many see it to be, and ask the very important question of: is urban exploration ONLY the quest to document and look at things abandoned, or does it go beyond into other areas of urban photography? Lots to talk about here, so warm up some leftover pizza, pour a fizzing glass of cola of your choice, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in the next episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of “Mr. P.’s Tales from the Road!” In this edition, we return to Eastern New York to wander once again through the grandiose ruins that make up a forlorn, abandoned and century-plus old Kirkbride mental hospital, and discuss a historical project ongoing there.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of “Mr. P.’s Tales from the Road!” In this edition, I spill tea on the amazing cultural party that was the 2025 Marche du Nain Rouge in Detroit, and then we hit the road out into the wilds of Michigan to discuss a grim and rather disturbing exploratory adventure we undertook within an abandoned and out of the way funeral home crematorium. A very personal tale, this one. So, buckle up, grab some crunchy gas station snacks, a frosty Big Gulp of something caffeinated and carbonated, start driving towards your distant destination, listen in and enjoy the show!

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of “Mr. P.’s Tales from the Road!” In this edition, we sashay on down to St. Louis, Missouri to tell a glorious tale of beer. German immigrant beer. Or in this case, the now-abandoned brewery once owned that once produced a special family-recipe brew that saw its rise and fall in the Gateway to the West. Plenty of frothy but crisp history and tales abound, so tap a solid beer of choice, raise your frosty stein in the air, shout out a lusty "Ziggy Zaggy, Ziggy Zaggy, Oi, Oi, Oi,” eat a nice big warm, freshly baked and salted pretzel (preferably with mustard), listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend, bundle up, be safe out there and we’ll see you in the next episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we again dive into a very personal and sometimes taboo subject that surrounds and affects many of us out there in the creative world; the often heavy and shadowy realm of mental health. We’ll also talk about how the art of urban exploration and photography helps us cope with and overcome those twin beasts of depression and anxiety. This is a topic very close to my heart for obvious reasons and one that I am very passionate about, having dealt with depression for over forty years as a parent, a teacher, explorer, friend and a human being, so tales and thoughts will abound; grab a warm beverage of choice (with or without some kind of liquid special ingredients), make yourself a nice thick sandwich of the meaty persuasion, listen in and enjoy the show! I hope that you find it relevant, supportive or at the very least, eye opening. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.

Hey all, and Happy New Year! Welcome to a new season of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road; the 4th year kick off! In this first-of-the-year edition, we head back to the Motor City to swashbuckle our way through the vegetation-choked ruins of the Belle Isle Zoo! Maybe it’s not as daring and as adventure-filled as anything Indiana Jones might tackle, but this particular location is one of the most unique of Detroit, Michigan’s abandoned offerings. So, join me for the beginning of a whole new season; plenty of history and tales abound, so (on your New Year’s diet), grab your stein full of ice-water, maybe snag a turkey sammich and warm up some chicken noodle soup to stay warm, listen in and enjoy the show!

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we take a trip up to the shores of Lake Erie to tell the tale of a much-loved, well-remembered and long vanished amusement park on Cleveland, Ohio’s East Side; EUCLID BEACH PARK. I’ll talk about the history of one of the most unique places in Cleveland history, as well as my own obsession with the place, which closed years before I was born, and some of the exploratory missions we took to document the remains that once existed. History and personal exploratory tales abound, so get yourself a loganberry soda, munch on a few popcorn balls, settle down, listen in and enjoy the show!

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we travel back to the Magic City of Gary, Indiana, to wander through two of the former industrial powerhouse’s two remaining large, rusting and relatively-intact factories. Places that have become canvases for graffiti artists, dumping spots for trash and worse, and places where we find our photographical gold and sad stories as we document the grim downfall of a once fully-throttled steel town. As always, tales and history abound, so load up on your explore beverage of choice (Gatorade, Monster, water, what-have-you), snag up a delicious plate of fried fish at Shark’s on Broadway in Gary, listen in and enjoy the show!
