O'Boyle's site is cool but Mott's comments and the ability for the public to comment, not to mention Mott's historic information makes his site quite the mindblower.

.....AND this is why I LOVE Lynne so much! :)

Hey, my friend and I have reason to believe that the symbol represented is a free mason symbol.

Glad I never found that in the middle of the night while wandering around there.

The place is awesome. We used to run around that place in the late 80`s when I was in high school,in the middle of the night. Had alot of fun and many parties. Some of the tunnels we used were for escaping from the cops, we would just pop up over in the neighborhood and never be seen. Glenndale Heights holds a lot of memories along with the hospital, And it looks a lot different I guess because I don`t think I`ve ever seen the inside of it in daylight.....

Well, ya know, Barbara, I don't really know. It's just something I think we have seen so many times we forget that it is kinda odd. I think originally it was so you could have something small enough to grab onto quickly and you could put your hands on each side and hang on for dear life while puking your guts out, but I'll admit, the few times I have felt like that, the LAST thing I wanted was to continue holding onto anything that was going to stay that close to me - a bucket seemed like a MUCH nicer idea. 8`-) However, if you are bedridden, it's true that it's difficult to hoist a bucket up that quickly. I still find it hard to believe that most people can keep much of anything contained in that feeble little basin. It's not been my experience that they have been too terribly helpful. I still end up cleaning a LOT of stuff up. [Insert a weird screwed up grin right about here]

They also use them for toothbrushing if you have to stay in bed for a whiles, so's you can spit out the water when you brush your teeth.

Also, as gross as this sounds, there are times when you really kinda have to know just exactly how much someone threw up (hooray for input-output charts, eh, anna?), so I am happy to say that many (most?) of them are handily marked with both American and metric measurements for your measuring ease. [feeble grin - please quit retching, y'all, you think we LIKE to clean up puke?]

P.S. "anna's arch-nemesis" - hee hee hee!!!!! When you have to clean that stuff up it's true - it quickly DOES become your arch-nemesis!!!! 8`-)

If you like this series of photos check out this web site. http://www.oboylephoto.com/ The author did a very in depth photo essay of this site a few years back and you can see the changes that time has brought about.

You are close. This is a rack in which they would store differnet signal flags to be hoisted up the mast to send messages to other boats. Notice that there are 2 notches in the slot under each number and letter- that was to allow two flags of each to be stored on teh racks. On bigger Navy ships there would be one of these racks on each side of the ship.

I'll never learn!!

Motts this surely has to be the most intriguing of all the great shots you've taken. It almost doesn't look real, and it would make a great Halloween wallpaper. Breathtaking!

Beautiful, just beautiful!

Much appreciated Motts, I too come here often to check for updates, and I'm always thrilled to see more of your great work. Thank you!

I love that fact that you got them in the shot, I love the colours in this picture! And their lights just add to that. Beautiful!

What a hauntingly beautiful picture Motts..... just perfect.

Twug stay the heck out of the water, will ya?!?
