Default Philadelphia Garages

My friends and I really want to start doing some garaged because it looks like a blast and a totally new way of skating. But we just don't know were to go.

For those of you who have done some garaging in the delaware valley what are some good spots? What do i need to look out for? Stories? Tips?

Theres a pretty popular garage in conshy but I'm not sure where, crappysurfer probably knows. I don't know the addresses of the garages I go to. I usually just skate around the city at 3am until I find some. I personally have skated probably 4 garages around here and only once had a security problem, but that was because I was learning shutdown slides and it was pretty loud.
