I had a corner room on the 2nd floor of The Ritz. How have you been Steve Maxx, Hank was my boss until he had no choice but leave. he was on his way out anyway. Steve took over and did a great job even though it was pretty new to him. Steve was a hell of a juggler too! but I miss The Pines and the times we had.

I ran that spotlight for many years from 83-87 and even learned to run soundbooth. I was also house dj. Miss all the fun we had there and remember almost everyone I worked with.

yea went there a day ago and took about 73 pictures of the place found the hospital the bowling alley bullet shells ect. this place is nuts i know f***ed up stuff happened there but gonna go there again asap and look at everything and by the way they took the security away in 2012 so dont worry bout those people but police do trainings on the weekends at the armary place. good luck and hace fun.

Its man made I live next to yhid just in recent years some people put fish in it now there are small catfish frogs minnows

Are there other boat graveyards like this, or is this one all that remains? Old hardware like these boats had so much "craft" in their construction.

Those anchors would look GREAT as props in a seafood restaurant, etc.

I worked for Tecumseh Metal products when they occupied part of the old Stusebaker plant. I remember parking near the big S on the foundry building.

The presses at that time were pumping out Ford Van parts and aluminum parts for the military Hum Vee.

I remember thinking when I would visit that plant that the hardwood block floors soaked in oil would really go up if they ever caught fire. I guess sadly I was right.

Nice to see some of the history of a once great Marque preserved.

Hey, great stuff here! i live in Wilkes-Barre/Kingston and I was never in the Sterling! They actually never demolished the entire building.. maybe half? A lot of people have used the fire escape to get in I hear? Thanks for the posts!

There is one just like this still in day-to-day use in the WIlliam Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh.

What a shame to see this building in this condition it should be renovated if its still fixble.

This building should be demolished and anything thats in good shape should be auctioned off.

There might be some stuff in there thats salvable.

What a shame to see this building like this.

this building should be renovated and turned into a haunted house attraction.
