If the room's ability to stop the spread of mold is any testament to its ability to stop the spread of disease... I'm thinking that didn't work out so well for them.

Okay... that's weird. I'd be a bit upset by that if I was taken there for social reintegration. It's just... surreal.

AWESOME gallery! Two shots of The Great One included! You are the best, man, really.

Since this set was taken 4-1/2 years ago, I gotta ask, is your hair still the same style? What does it look like now? (Just curious.)

That is bitchin'. It's like they knew you were coming.

I agree with Debbie. This is a really good shot of you.

Not sure which would hurt more - the therapy, or the therapy table.

It's the place where rolling recliners are sent when they lose their bladder control.

Maybe it is some sort of industrial strength Pine-Sol or something, although one would think it'd still have an odor. Perhaps it's a combination of water running down through the walls, collecting rust and other decomposing textile and building substances, varnish from doors, rotting ceiling panels and wiring, just a combination of stuff.

I am TOTALLY guessing here. It could be ectoplasm for all I know. XD

Was this shot in your "Dead Rollers" project?

Answering my own question: Yes, it was.

PS - in case I hadn't mentioned it before, "Dead Rollers" ROCKS. Completely!!!!!

(If y'all haven't seen it, DEFINITELY do!!) http://www.arssubterra...rg/projects/gurneys/

That's an OLLLLD CRT monitor! If this place closed in the mid-90s, it's probable that this was just the monochrome green-on-black display. Dig that monstrous keyboard. That thing is twice the size of my son's laptop!

I would LOVE to have had the shelving installed there in the back of the admittance area.

Hell yeah, Canada! Or a side table in the living room... what a conversation piece!

Love the striped curtains.

Not sure I'd go with clean and sanitary, Ferdy. LOL! For an abandoned hospital, yeah it's in better shape than many we've seen. But if this was a functioning unit, I'd say it looked more like the King's Daughters hospital in Temple, TX. Still open, and far from clean. Let alone sanitary!

I've never been to Philly. I fell in love with Pittsburgh when I was there, though. For some reason I pictured more hills and trees in Philly, but I guess Pittsburgh is closer to the mountains, so it's different landscape.

This is a nice shot.

You look nervous and shy, Motts. Let me guess, she's a workin' girl and this is your first time...

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry! Couldn't resist.

Motts, is this the location you beamed to for this photo shoot?

Again, I think of under-funded rural hospitals or third-world countries. Yes, the shipping costs would be astronomical, but surely some humanitarian-minded rich person would be willing to donate the cost of a shipping container and the associated transit. Somewhere, this could be of use. There are hospitals and clinics in under developed countries where desperately sick or injured people are lying on dirty blankets on the floor! The wastefulness of this country is sometimes upsetting to me.

Okay, stepping down off soapbox. My apologies, Mr. Motts.

It looks ready to raise its head, slowly, creaking on slightly rusty hinges, turning to examine the invader to its dark retirement with a dimly glowing vestige of radioactivity deep within its single black eye.
