The scary thing with electric motors like that is, if you cleaned it off and gave it a bit of juice it would probably start spinning again. They are nearly impossible to kill.

What floor was this on? If it's anything other than ground floor, it makes you wonder how a seed for a fern ended up there!

I'm guessing shower stalls. See the pipe running overhead? There are most likely shower heads in each directly over the place to stand.

I would drop a marble down it and listen to the rattle

Definitely grease. Believe it or not, those elevators get up to a pretty high speed to get the workers up or down quickly. That wheel would have been wound up to a pretty high speed, enough to throw a few drops of grease off here and there.

No cables eh? That must mean that the elevator has been removed or dropped to the bottom.

I've seen pictures of the inside of their new brewery. It's as if the equipment was just modernized. They still have a nifty look to them (the tanks that is...) but they've lost that curvy whimsical look in favor of a much more industrial (but still polished) look. It looks like they are made of stainless steel at this point.

It's a very tiny picture, but you can see the old tanks shine!

That's a fun wallpaper, nice touch making the Opacity fit inside the porthole!

Sure it's lush, but I don't think it was meant to be!

"Safety Chairs"? What exactly about these chairs makes them so "safe"?

It probably was one of those theatres that used lots of folding chairs. Often you could store them under the stage. There are probably holes in the floor to put the posts to hold the net up. The Gymnasium in my old high school also doubled as the auditorium at one point, but the stage had been boarded up and turned into a storage room by the time I got there.

Often you see abandoned pools that have been drained or have jsut dried up over the years. It must have been eerie to look at ta pool that was still full of water...I wouldn't hang out there long. I dont trust water I cant see the bottom of.

That must have been one helluva flashlight, or a fairly long exposure, that place it really lit up!

I just checked google's sattelite view of the area and these cranes are still there, looking completely white and out of place among the rust.
