Interesting reach into your distant memories! I'm not certain about this particular hospital, but most of these kinds of places did indeed have housing for doctors and nurses on the grounds, especially when it was situated far from a town or city.

Yup good spotting - it's most certainly someone I was with that day.

I wondered that as well. It reminds me of alveoli, but I doubt that's what it's of.

I didn't attempt it; the mall looked lovely enough from the ground floor.

Wow thanks!

Thanks flushed, yeah I figured it was HVAC but wasn’t sure.

Yep Kristen, the lawns were mowed to keep the place from looking totally neglected. It may have been the city (Detroit sometimes mows abandoned lots) or folks living nearby.

Huh, baby zombie, I never thought of that... certainly a possibility.

Heh yeah a lot of folks will use a building to just take a dump in, so they don’t go far. Gotta watch out in that first room.

No, but honestly I was kind of surprised there wasn’t!

“Detroit Resident” (who certainly isn’t one) has been stalking me for years to instigate drama and just needs to be ignored. (I’ve been traveling so it’s tough to get online) Posts deleted, thanks for playing!

Sure, it happens a lot in big cities - Detroit, Philly, NOLA, Berlin etc.

I make a point in evading anyone inside the place with me; you just don’t know who it could be, but it happens from time to time. 95% of the people that I’ve met over the years kept to themselves or were pretty cool if we chatted, they just need a place to live and don’t want trouble. “Professional” scrappers (who don’t live in these places) can be dicey as they’re usually armed and can think you’re on their turf. Meth heads and gangs just plain suck.

Here's a higher resolution image of a 1975 map I found at HRVH.org:

Certainly not the best scan, but you should be able to find the original at the Millbrook Free Library.

Maybe you took a similar photo, but this one was most definitely taken by me. Feel free to prove otherwise...
