Any photographers or models out there know of some good abandoned buildings, warehouses, etc in the West Los Angeles area?  Maybe Santa Monica, Malibu, Westwood, Marina Del Rey, Manhattan area? 

Any tips and descriptions of the places is much appreciated.  And examples of photos you've taken inside them would be really cool too!

Thanks in advance!

Don't know about Cali, but we got lots in Detroit!

anybody?  I know there's tons of LA photographers here....

You are asking about areas with premium real estate.  Not much stays vacant for any length of time.  You're better off looking just east of downtown.  I have a location in Atwater Village off the 5 (Griffith Park area), if interested drop me a line.
