We used to hitchhike down there from Dorchester and jump off the cliffs back in the 1970s. They had different names, depending on the height. There had to have been 100s of cars at the bottom, dumped over the decades. The granite originally quarried from there was used for building Civil War forts, Bostons curbstones, Bunker Hill Monument and other things. It had it's own railway, used for hauling down the rock. Quincy Quarries are very old, and historically significant.
That 1st tall perch they show was called rooftop. I was always too chicken to jump but a bunch of my friends used to jump off of that all the time. We would hang out there in the summer during the early 90s. Sometimes there would be a 100 kids there on a given day
There was a quarry in I believe Miegs Ohio, maybe Athens. The water was turquoise and we used to trespass and jump from about 3 stories up. That was over 30 years ago. The OU students used to go. Fun times!
I'm not into spraypaint unless I wanna change the color of my wagon. (Coming from a city, I'm thoroughly burned out on the "art") To each their own though so why not do up your private parts and I'll watch. 🤓👍 Thanks Chris! 🤠👍
Quincy granite had a very unique look. We used it occasionally for cemetery monuments to match early 1900s markers and monuments. I think the last quarry closed in 1963 but we could still get it, with difficulty in the mid to late 1970s. I suppose there is none available now for that purpose.
First they drained it to check for missing persons. Then they filled it in I was there climbing in the early 2000s too bad you painted it 😉 I did see my 6th grade friend Jocko Binda jump into swingles quarry. Got to climb on a few high school field trips at the reflector oven wall.
not sure if that is the quarry if not it was another one but a girl jumped and never came up when they searched for her body they found two or three other bodies. very crazy. glad you are in my neck of the woods!
I can't say that I am a graffiti fan, and I really wish "they," the graffiti artists, wouldn't just cover everything in bright, neon colored paint. However, I am old school and like to see the historical buildings, and rocks, left in the condition that they were in when they were abandoned. (Sigh) Anyway, thanks for the video and the history of that old quarry. We have lots and lots of old, abandoned mines down here in southern Missouri, and many are filled with water and lots of undesirable things. Deep holes in the earth, filled with years of rain water and snow melt, are creepy, and I wish a bunch of these were filled in with dirt!
Man, if I lived near there, not even draining it and filling it with dirt would stop me! I'd just build a giant leaf pile over several weeks and then dive off into that! 😅
I just wanted to know how you feel about Lamont's other youtube channels. One is black bigalow. He made a few videos about a youtube couple call Squirmy and Grubs. Do you feel the same way he does about them? And the video he made about a tiktoker who he asked out but she said no. Do you feel the same way he does about women? Im asking because you both seem like good friends.
With all that Rusty wire poking out it should be called tetanus Park! Someone's going to fall on that one day and see the city because that's ridiculous that that's exposed like that
