One month ago today: an abandoned brick works. I'm headed back... soon.

Abandoned brick works! Definitely interested in seeing more of this location!
I'm afraid I'm not as fearless about abandoned sites as you seem to be Joe. This place obviously has massive ovens (guess what those remind one of?), but otherwise is an abandoned warehouse. What is your approach for entering off limit sites? It seems many of your abandoned locations have been government installations, rather than private property. Do you usually obtain permission first?
Permission is best. But if there's no fence, and it's not signed as no trespassing, most of the time a pictures now procedure works fine. Play the crazy artist card. Carry prints with you. Photographing stuff is a natural impulse -- if you get asked to leave, politely leave. But social engineering can go a long way.
Do you try to take somebody along with you?
Definitely a smart idea.
