Fadingpain Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Who remembers "Snakeland" at the Tonawanda grain elevators? This was popular in the local press for a while as a site where bad kids hung out and allegedly practiced satanism and what not. Was anyone there back in the day? Have any good stories? What do you remember?
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 We have grain elevators here. But they are still used for grain. Anyway... Never heard of this either. But I guess it would be a cool place to practice satanism. Corn snakes? ?

Guffalo Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Were those the ones on Military road? I do remember a kids older brother died from a fall from the elevator shaft there. I don't remember it being called Snakeland, but I was always warned by my mother to never go near that place. Edited August 9, 2018 by Guffalo

Yes, I think that's right. Here is video of it being demolished in May 2000. 2 hours ago, Cripple Creek said: Just vague recollections.

I do think some stuff was going down there, though. I seem to recall this being a thing in like the early '80s. We need some older posters to chime in. I'm 47 and still kind of too young to really remember it. Edited August 9, 2018 by Fadingpain
Captain_Quint Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Alright, come clean. Which one of you is this guy? And how do I get in on what you're taking?
