Location

Abandoned house at 809 Glacier Ave, Capitol Heights, MD 20743

Participants

OfficeLinebacker (talk)
Girlfriend

Plans

The plan was to be there at 4pm.

Expedition

I went to this location today. My girlfriend and I were attending a gala event nearby so we stopped on our way there. We were about 2 hours later than the normal 4pm meetup time.

The exact point is inside an abandoned house at 809 Glacier Ave, Capitol Heights, MD 20743. There were stickers on it indicating that BoA has received notice that the house is abandoned and payments are no longer being made on it. We walked around the house and took pictures.
