Am I weird or not? I would love to walk through some of these empty properties and explore.

It's one of the reason I love shows like Ghost Adventures, as a majority of the time they go into abandoned hospitals, mansions and old factories.

One of the houses in your picture was listed for $30k when I was shopping 5-6 years ago, but was in need of total renovation.

There are some with a for sale sign in Spring Way near 30th St., and the sign has been up for several years, you can see them from Penn Ave. I haven't look at them, but I'm sure that a lot of work would be needed.

I called about those houses several times a couple years ago, when I was looking for a house. Nobody ever returned my calls.
