You know, they say that over exposure to red light and/or to environments with a lot of red in them (like the secretary of state's offices used to have in Michigan) can induce certain sensistive individuals to exhibit certain subpsychological symptoms of various psychoses.

Hey, y'know, it's kind of cool. . . Those trees or plants or whatever that are growing through the top of the roof almost look like smoke. Sadly poetic, don't you think, considering the fact that this building was lost to smoke so long ago. . .

The light/soap dispenser itself was too curious for the vandals to leave behind

Joy, I think that thingie on the side is the old rolling sink that the light/soap dispenser hangs above

Yeah, and what IS up with the jellybean man, anyway?

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page & you'll see Motts about to be pulled into the tractor beam of this thing =)

Hey, isn't Kirkbride at Danvers State? Or is there one here, too?

Any bean jokes? Anyone? Anyone. . .

Ooooooooooo. . . it IS the dungeon!

What a wreck! Why do people let a place like this get so bad in the first place? A crying shame.

Oh my gosh! It's like the stairs into the deep, nasty, mildewey, dungeony hole of the black finger-eating monster. . .

Oh! Think of all the work that must've gone into building this place, all the time & energy & even creativity. It just makes me sick, I tell you!

Oh, dude, you're right! You can see the "k" between the top angel's halo & body! And their little bodies do kinda look like twinkies, don't they? Wow, I was just about ready to start looking for some deeply subversive subpsychological meaning to this, when all it really is is the work of a bunch of pot-heads with spraycans and the munchies for twinkies. . .

From the exterior (except for the boarded up windows) it almost looks like it could still be used, like it's just waiting for the next shift to arrive. I'm just discusted by the waste of its destruction.

I think this picture just shows how huge, how involved this campus was. Such a shame. So much work, so much history, all wasted because of the throw-away mentality of a dying society. . .
