Dude, is that shadowy figure part of the "horror" feel, or is that not something that was done on purpose? >;)

You say that the Utopia deal fell through "thankfully." Hmm.

Hi, I grew up about a mile down the road. The most magical woods I've ever known are the woods around its edges where little bits of buildings and the old trolley road pop up. I've had some of my most freakin' precious memories out there.

That said, the casinos do not suit the economic needs of the Norwich area. That money goes to the state and is generally reallocated to other areas like Hartford, not where the schools and roads actually need to account for the population influx. Please be more understanding of the municipal view upon these potential development projects. As they crash, those buildings keep standing there, mostly unused and demanding upkeep. Extensive environmental damage also lies underneath and within those buildings and extensive bills for clean-up. Constructing a museum from the place is not as simple as opening up the doors, painting a few walls, and setting up staff.

There is beauty and sentiment in the decay, and I know it well, but development isn't just about greed. I have a really strong and personal attachment to the place, but I also know how much it sucks to go the schools (before NFA), have a downtown that apparently can't even support the one coffee shop that finally opened up, or support small businesses that would serve as alternatives to the big corporations so many of you claim to hate.

yeah, im not too far from here either.. im actually doing a college power point project that i have to present out loud, on abondoned asylums, these have to be the freakiest asylums to live so close to. ahh! pilgrim state woah! why do they have to be in NY haha! good job with the photographing motts, this is also what im majoring in aside form interior design..
