I just recently located this site and have thoroughly enjoyed the creativity that is put into each photograph. Excellent work, wish I could join you on some of these jaunts. ;-)
I have just recently been doing research on these places,what great pictures you have taken,I live near Pittsburgh where there was also a place called Dixmont,the owner has also sold out to corporate America and the place will be replaced with a Super Wal-Mart,as if we don't have enough already,what about all of the history,of these places,I think it is truly sad,these places need to be saved and made into museums.Or at least the gorunds preserved.Lookig forward to you next update.
Oops! sorry, guess I went off. I do love these photos. I'm sure other parents of DD children love them too. I wonder what type of environment will be left for our DD children in the future. The community really doesn't seem to be inclusive happy. Nobody seems to be preparing for the future. It frightens me. These photos make me continue to advocate. Thank you very much Motts.
Gee Skeety, I dunno. My son has a diagnosis of "MR" and autism. I think if the school used a researched based reading program to actually TEACH him to read. He could score out of the "MR" label I think the "mental retards" are actually being "abused" at school because they BEAT the parents down and make them too tired to advocate for an appropriate education. Mistreatment does not go on at home. . . it goes on in school, give the child and label and it means you don't have to educate them.
Yes, from where I banged my head against the wall . . . I couldn't get the right temperature going from faucette to faucette. How do you get warm water that way ? ? ?
I agree with Pete. First I thought it an interesting comment on how society has changed since this mural was created, but this place didn't close until 1996. Satanists and Christians, anyone would be offended by this scene! The fact that it's inside an amusement park ride makes it even more bizarre. This pic makes me laugh and get kinda queasy at the same time.
