Are those grounds tours still going on? I'd love to see this place in person!

Lynne is absolutely right, there's nothing vicious about the ball pit - I think its the setting surrounding it that is wrong.

This place looks A LOT like this one park located in Wisconsin Dells I believe (or is there an Enchanted Forest there? or was there...?) Anyways, I probably was there when I was three, I remember the statues and stuff that looked just like this...and those feet and the cage...it was like the exact same thing was there.

Kevin, I don't think Motts wants the site locations known (see below the submit comment button), for safety/legal reasons and stuff. But its up to him, so I don't know if he will tell you or not. I guess I'd say I doubt it.

In the case Ed described, I think its acceptable - and at least he didn't put something grotesque or profane. There can sometimes be exceptions to every rule.

Why of course! *bows down*

Wow, those sinks bring back memories! Yep, had those in gradeschool, so they were still around some places as recent as 8 -10 years ago. Always thought they were kinda neat.

Love the colors.

Beautiful. Looks like something you'd find in a bank from the Old West.

Yeah, in this shot the building doesn't really even look abandoned, save for a few pebbles on the floor. Very interesting!

You're absolutely right, silkster. And look at the drop-off on the left side. If one were to slip...
I understand that not having the tub so low to the ground could make it easier for staff to bathe patients, but it just seems careless.

Why thank you : ) Perhaps cuz I don't talk lyk dis? lol. Has AP English payed off? Nah, I slept through that...I mean...I studied, very hard!

I think this might be hell.

Yes, there is a very wide audience. I myself am 18, but I happen to know that there are many older people that view your pictures as well. Some have worked at these abandoned places back in their "hey-day." I for one would most certainly buy a book containing these photos. I have looked at bookstores but seen nothing, so this book would be quite a well sought after novelty. Perhaps Lynne should give commentary! ; ) I know in some other posts it was discussed she should publish her info in a book!

Yeah they are found in hospital rooms too, especially surgery recovery rooms. When my grandfather was in the hospital for surgery 2 weeks ago, I sat in one of these (he didn't need it, he was in the bed, I'm not that mean!) and they are pretty comfortable...but not when you are stuck in a place like this with no one by your side.
