I've seen stuff about this place on TV.....is THIS the place that was where the phrase "Up the river" was coined, or was that somewhere else?

Was that second floor walkway tipping away from the cells, or is it just me?

Another great off-angle hallway shot. "Follow the yellow-striped hall!"

I used to work at a movie theater that had been converted from a Vaudeville theater....before we carefulyy constructed a new theater out of what used to be the backstage area we all got a tour....it was incredible to feel the energy of all the people that once performed there. I didn't want to go into the dressing rooms underneath the stage....I'd been told there was a sizeable jumping spider population down there....EIW!!! YICK!!!!

YEOWCH, THAT one will come down with a big crash!

Looks like some pipes on the floor behind it. Maybe there used to be a bathtub there and the curtain was for privacy or something.

"Oh Captain, my Captain!"

So far in my exploratioin of this site (the past three and a half days), I've seen the one with the multicolored iron lungs....maybe that's what you're thinking of? Haven't seen the whole site yet though.

Hey, if you ever publish a book with your photography, make THIS the cover.....with a very dark title like what my friend calls urban decay exploration....going Into the Abyss of Decay (you can have that one; a simple thanks inside would be enough).

"Hey, where do these stairs go?" "They go up." - from Ghostbusters.

Ever come across medication bottles with drug names on them? (I'd assume that part of the shutdown would usually require removal of all pharmaceuticals from the premises) Like empty bottles or shelf labels or the like?

I've seen those before....usually in factories and other places with large Cathedral-height windows. As I'm sure you could guess, the one pulley opens all of the window vents at once....one wouldn't really WANT to have to climb all that way up to open or close each of those vents separately....a waste of time.

LOVE the motto on the scale! ;)

"No springs. Honest weight." Yeah....people would just "love" to read that one!

PSSSST! What's the secred password?

Hmmmmm.......really makes one wonder what they're serving in the cafeteria if the morgue is in the same building. Don't eat the daily special! LOL!
