I once worked in an office where they had several rooms that were no longer being used. They were dusty and dirty. Used mostly to store outdated equipment such as typewritters and adding machines. I inquired about the rooms (and admitted that I had explored them) and found out that when the building was built in 1949, it was the main headquarters for the whole company. By the mid 70's (when I was there) the main office had moved to a larger city. These things do happen. That wing, as well as the theater were no longer needed.

This place was closed in the 90's? It looks like the places that were closed some twenty years earlier.

Reminds me of an office building I ventured into a few years ago. The computers and phones were exactly where they were when the place closed up a couple years earlier. They had a filing cabinet full of floppy disks. I didn't think of taking any, but instead going for the paper files, and I got a full stack of inter-office memos which covered everything from personal phone calls to what kind of music should be played in the office. All very interesting.

And yes, I started with Netscape too. (LOL)

I remember the films that had the audio on records. The nuns could never get it in sync with the video...and...sometimes the record skipped. I have very fond memories of those films. Don't remember a heck of what they were about, but it was fun watching them. LOL

They must have left some chalk behind, for this to happen. Your average person doesn't usually carry it around with them.

Now let's look for an eraser.

This was the smoking room. No ashtrays were needed. Just flick all the ashes and butts into the puddle

These chairs are in positions, where it looks like there's ghosts sitting in them

I've never heard of anybody getting a flat tire on a wheelchair. Maybe they fixed bicycles too.

Why is it, whenever you find a typewritter, the keys are jammed?
