I really like this room. It still has the original architecture and feel of the half timbered German buildings of old. Nice arched windows.

Er, it looks like the guy in blue is going to whack the other guy with that big black stick thingie.

Those are baby zombie pods coming through the ceiling. The central fixture generates heat to bring the babies to life.

This is the kind of switchboard I worked on while stationed in Korea. It was actually really fun to work with. "Camp Page, Specialist Frett speaking, how may I help you, sir?" The ma'ams always got upset when you called them sirs, but how did you know until they talked , right?

I did not see a skull, only the drunken badger. I asumed this was in or near the aforementioned "Badger Club". The badger looks a little big like a panda bear. Most badgers I have met are a lot toothier and mean. Maybe the booze makes them happy and cuddly.

Total torture device. Motts is just telling us it is a coat rack so we don't freak out. Too late.

I remember doors like this also. They were usually in fancy hotels or departments stores. I think there may be one or two left in downtown Minneapolis. In Minnesota. In USA. Up on the top.

I know how ! The thing probably would still work with a little dusting, electricity and a phone line. Of course one would need a similar machine to recieve the message.

I was a telecommunications operator in the Army back in the early eighties. When stationed in Korea we used ancient machinery that must have been installed during the war. Cranks and dials and telephone modems. Each message had a special header address that could not contain any errors. The text body could have typos, but we were soldiers and we did not make mistakes (sarcasm). I would not be suprised if they still have the same machines. I also worked at a switchboard where you had to pull the cords and plug them into the various line connections. Crazy.

Even with the fine floors and the interesting ceilings, this place seems fairly spartan to me. I will not be booking again.

The zombies are pushing their way up from below. They're right under you. Watch out.

Why do we keep seeing carts near or on the stairs? Remember the red curtain picture? There was some kind of cart there as well. No elevators I suppose. Did I just answer my own question? Yes, you did Liza. Oh, thanks. Just talking to myself.

I remember these toys from the 60's. Some of my friends had similar, but not so sinister looking. I think it is actually a little bear. I am suprised it is in such good shape. Eye color is a bit disconcerting.

My aunt did have chairs like this. In blue. They wrapped around a little bit more and were really low to the floor. My sister had them in her house for awhile in the late 70's, auntie bought them in the 60's.
