In the early 80's I found an abandoned cemetery, and while exploring it, I came across one of these fenced-in trees.

I returned to the area in 2001, and found it cleaned up a bit, but many headstones were still laying on the ground in several broken pieces, and the tree was still fenced in.

Jim H, thanks for the link. Seems hard to believe that such a beautiful building could quickly fall apart as quickly as it did.

I once saw this in an old cemetery. Instead of a headstone, the tree was the marker, and it had a fence around it. Possibly somebody buried there.

TP was probably allocated at the door by a supervisor...

And I'm sure it was handed out sparingly, like four sheets per visit.

I'm sure there was little 'peep holes' for the boys to look through. (LOL)

Back then, everything was made to last a hundred years or more...

That ~is~ dogfood. My aunt resided in both Ancora and Graystone, and insisted that the food served was really dogfood. I can still hear her...

Maybe it was a large sign saying "Do not touch the radiator" in ten languages.

This is an excellent picture. It captures the beauty of an abandoned room without the graffiti and trash on the floor. Even the peeling paint has a charm all it's own. It looks like a map of Asia.

It's a slot machine (but the handle is gone) line up three 7's and you win the jackpot.

Line up three 6's and all hell breaks loose

There may be a market here. Not just for shoes, but a full line of 'Byberry clothes'. The t shirts would have some of Motts pictures printed on them.

I would say 'AMIE' ran out of paint by the time they reached the back row.

These should be gathered up and put out for recycling (LOL)

I didn't see anybody standing there, so I took the photo into 'photoshop' and brightened it up.

I still don't see anybody, but I could read the graffiti better. LOL
