I love up up up shots!

The clock looks so tiny compared to the tower.

Looks like an old postcard.

I wouldn't work at Wal-Mart if you...well, if you paid me. They can't even handle treating their employees like actual human beings most of the time...those are jobs the community doesn't need.

It just occured to me that I spent a while fighting with an outlet like this yesterday afternoon. So evidently they're also native to Maine.

Thanks, Lynne!

Evidently.

Nah, it's not coming down just yet.

Not that I know of. It was a rumour but a lot of people still want to save the hospital as a hospital (not necessarily the Kirk). The proposed plan right now is to consolidate Worcester and Westboro and build a new hospital on these grounds.

I don't believe you'll be wanting to steal this one...it's got a rather official looking 15 MPH sign attached to it. :)

Well, I could imagine it breaking as well...the details on the buildings are not so sturdy in my photos as they are in these.

I'm confused about that too...but I've been under the impression that the new hospital is part of the UMass complex that's slowly encroaching onto the old WSH campus. But the "new" one is actually in danger of closing as well.

Firstly, I would assume that they would keep a place up to make it look not-so-abandoned.

However, in a case like Worcester State Hospital where it's obviously abandoned and the grounds are open to the public, you may as well have enough pride in the place to keep it looking pretty. :) WSH even has flowers.

Funniest looking straight jacket I've ever seen...

That sucka's not going down any time soon, trust me.
