MOTTS - YOU'RE A TOTAL FREEKING GENIUS!!!!!!

Motts, sorry to quesiton you again but.....lol....... are you sure its only your flashlight? It does look like one long light and another smaller one.

This place is in really good shape. You captured some great color in this shot. Almost looks like unfinished Dry Wall. Were there wall railings that were taken down?

Still looks open to me!!

Is that.....algae growing on the ceiling??

These look like a way of the trolley's overhead electrical contro arml being able to make the smooth curve without pulling on or losing connection with overhead wires that were more commonly used for trolley service.

HEY!!! Here's a site on the Pines from when this hotel was still in use!!! Pretty neato.

Two thoughts come to mind.....

....one was remembering this turn-of-the-century converted resort in Wisconsin I attended camp at that had a few claw-foot cast iron tubs like this one....and how DIVINE it was to bathe in them!

....the other thought was the tub from the movie "The Money Pit" when that lovely porcelain tub falls through the rotted floor and shatters....and Tom Hanks' obnoxious laugh at it when it does!

Yeah, usually it took people getting killed in fires or something in narrow passageways like this one before someone would wake up and realize that designs like this were a BAD idea.....unfortunately in most cases when it was too late to save people.

gelliebean, I'm from the midwest and that's exactly what I call that tile floor, too! Schoolhouse tile....because that's where we all grew up seeing most of that awful linoleum garbage!

Funny, but when I saw thsi room, it reminded me of the scene in trainspotting, where the guy was tripping, and seeing the image of his dead son climb the walls and ceiling. Donno why... Maybe the color and the door?

So then this is like a scary version of an inversion table?

Hey, Motts....got some explorations questions for you....would you please email me off-site (listed here) so I could ask you a few things? THANKS! :)
