an NG tube will stop vomiting by suctioning all matter (including gastric juices) out of the stomach. Also rests the digestive system--horrid things-i had them put in as a child, wide awake, and told to swallow as it went in. i feel for any kiddos in this place

my cousin had this exact design painted on her bedroom wall in 1978 in browns

yea, these totally got tangled in your hair, my mother would always try to curl my and my sisters stick straight hair - i remember trying to sleep with them digging into my head; can still feel it----OW! and if you tried to pull them out by your little self you tore hair out of your head, I imagine the residents would get fixed up for visiting days only

spent my childhood in hospitals for weeks and months at a time because of my genetic issues. caregivers have tremendous power over children in these settings. however even more so in the 70's when "visiting hours" were enforced and parents were not particularly informed about the treatment the child received. my mother had 7 more children and could rarely visit me because children under 12 were not allowed (i was the otdest) the aqua colored tiles are like memory triggers. like peering into the past,...

can someone confirm that they really did board the doors up?

YOU canot let them go down if i had a ship grave yard i would try to fix it i mean them things are BEAUTIFUL hey if you sent one to me i would take it and i would weld it back to glory you CANT let these poor things die even if considered to be beyond repair. IF YOU COULD LET ME HAVE just ONE ONE ONE ONE !!!!!!! i would fix it up

hey ozz, i just drove up from boston a couple weeks ago and did the investigation with taps. i actually got quite the collection that night! not only did i get pics but a/v as well. i will openly admit in the face of criticism that the place has a few para occupants. whether it be from the houses that were torn down for the construction of the terminal or the term itself. they are there. the structure alone was amazing! i was hoping to go up in the tower but it was off limits. i was awed by what i did get to explore though. its magnificent.

Looks to me that they weren't planning on closing the hotel for good. That's why the dining room was intact and bathrooms look as if it could be used today

There must be a "ghost" housekeeper/maid, keeping the bathroom that clean after all these years

this place looks amazing..me and my buddies urban explore different places about once a week.I came across The Pines on your site about 3 days ago, and we deff. want to go there but we dont know were it is. If you have time can you email me at Reddbulllman@Aol.com and explain to me how far it is from Long island.Thanks

Looks like Hostel all over again!

What great pics! I worked there (obviously at a different business) until just recently and besides the building I worked in and the tunnel connected to that building I never had a chance to do other exploring, besides walking the grounds. I have some pics of the inside of the power supply building but all they show is water and mold (it's condemmed and very apparent why). While working there I remember a few different times that kids had explored the grounds and showed me some interesting finds: spoons, dentures, etc... Again - great pics!!

does anyone know who purchased the rides and maybe where they have gone to???

I remember the miniature golf under the gondolas base, makes me sad to see, my yourh in the 70's was spent in that place. TKS for the pics!!!!

reminds me of silent hill 1 in the alt hospital
