The inside has been remodeled and there are no hanging meats. I was also disappointed to find there was no picture of  "Our Son the Goalie" anywhere. The above two images are stills from the film; below in July of 2014.

Jeffrey Dahmer's Apartment - Milwaukee, WI

In July of 1991, authorities discovered the grousome crimescene in Jeffrey Dahmer's one-bedroom apartment. He lived in the Oxford Apartments, room 213, located at 924 North 25th Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

In the photo below, police remove the infamous blue barrel that contained three human torsos. Dahmer was charged with the brutal murders of 17 men, many of which he ate and then decorated his apartment with their bones and body parts.

I visted the apartment in 2011, but as you can see in the above and below photos, the lot where the building once stood is now empty. The apartment building was torn down in 1992.

Columbia Ice Arena - "D3: Mighty Ducks 3" Filming Location - Fridley, MN

As of July of 2014, Columbia Arena remains abandoned. It opened in the early 1960s and closed in 2006. I visited this place only to take photos of the exterior. I was shocked when I saw a door propped open. Naturally, I went inside and snapped a few photos after not seeing any "No Trespassing" signs. I hurried out of there because I could tell people were actively squatting there. The address is 7011 University Avenue NE in Fridley, Minnesota. I had originally reported this location was not used for the filming of D3 but I was wrong. This spot was used for ALL of the hockey scenes in the film.

The above still was taken from the film; below is that same side of the arena in 2014.

This is the part that threw me off...do you see those giant windows in the background of the above still from the film? They are not in the arena anymore and they have obviously been boarded up as you can see in my photo below. However, I did not notice how they were boarded up from the inside or the outside. This fact is why I was originally skeptical about this location actually being used in the film. However, after being told by people who were actually there during filming, those windows were a facade put up by the motion picture company and taken down after filming was  complete.

OCTOBER 2015 UPDATE!

I am updating this filming location but it brings me great sadness to do so. The Columbia Arena could not be saved. The city of Fridley purchased it and are in the process of tearing it down as I type this. I went back to the arena on October 4th, 2015 and snapped the photo below. You can see building's side pillars still in the ground.

I took a brick home for a keepsake.
