So long Motts - I hope you are well and have moved on somewhere. Thank you so much for all of your work over the many years.

"Its like a little indoor garden. Imagine how green it may be years from now"

Well it's an empty lot now with NO greenery at all!

Can someone please answer what those holes are in the wheels?

Thank you for all the responses but I think we have the memo now.

Maybe he just decided to check out and disappear. I find that hard to believe with all the work and passion, but you never know with people. I do however find that last photo caption in this last gallery titled "Twilight" as possibly a hint of his intentions.

I don't want to think about other things that are crossing my mind like getting in legal trouble or worse while visiting a new abandoned photo shoot. Not knowing anything is the worst of all after all these years. Like a friend or relative who just disappears never to be heard from again.

I'm just hoping Motts is taking an extended time out and it's not something worse.

Hard to believe it has been a year and some change since I posted my comment above. Who knew when I wrote that back then that we would be in this world today. It doesn't seem like a year ago at all. As if time stopped this year. I hope Motts is okay.

Nobody beyond GenX (those born 1965-1980) ever experienced the joy of going from a rotary dial phone to a push button one.

Carpet is a natural acoustical wave absorber (not keeping outside sounds from coming in, but instead helping keep inside room sounds inside by breaking up the sound waves). This was probably less of an interior design and more a functional one for guest comfort although the real effectiveness of it could only be proven or disproven by the Mythbuster's crew. Hey, I just gave them a new show idea to test!

Eight feet deep is plenty deep enough for head first diving, especially without a diving board. Of course here the no diving was probably just a liability CYA no diving in pool period rule more than any real danger of breaking your neck diving into the three foot shallow area. So if you couldn't dive, there was always the jacknife backsplash to make the dry loungers behind you wet!

Queue up Logan's Run and your being "reincarnated" when you hit age 30. Seriously though, that was several hundred dollars worth of multi-use scaffolding sitting in there at the time. So someone was in there regularly but wasn't worried about the hardware theft. I wonder if they planned on disassembling and taking down that massive ceiling fixture. It is cool looking.

People were a lot smaller (thinner) back then than they are today. These were likely two-person seats. Drive any old classic coupe from decades ago and the seats in it makes you feel like you are in a toy car for kids.

Thanks again Motts. It is so sickening how stupid youths ruin with vandalism what we adults appreciate or in this case get someone else to photo so we can appreciate causing the trip to be cut short.

So that's what the cute Pixar lamp's great-grandfather did for a living.

I work in the health care industry find this classic wheelchair design always fascinating. Why? Because unlike today's wheelchairs where the large wheels are in the back and small in the front causing a tip-back risk, an elderly patient/resident will not be tipping back in this thing. Of course maybe that's the reason for the newer design so the wheelchair owners have to buy anti-tip back devices.
