Crazy Urban Geography Blog

http://www.terrastories.com/bearings/

Not specifically devoted to sense of place, but a pretty awesome geography-related blog nonetheless. They focus on urban exploration, which is exploring the human-built environment, most often by getting into places that are supposedly off-limits and documenting them from a geographer's point of view.

Some good examples/recommendations are their explorations of Neverland Ranch, abandoned missile sites on Vandenburg AFB, and some nice building explorations in San Francisco, Gary (Indiana), and Detroit. It's some pretty daring stuff - stand outs that I've read so far are the Vandenburg trip and the PacBell building in SF.
