Yes, that new sign is totally out of place.

What kind of lens was this? It looks almost flat in the center, but then the edges have a curved look to them. Very neat.

I love the scrollwork leading up to that light fixture, nice detail.

Yay first comment! You won't see buildings like this in the US - unless it's a church maybe.

Did you go into the courtyard? If so was there still trails where you could walk maybe a bench or a butt can?

Three pigs are walking down the street....Two of them walk into a bar,


The third one ducked!

Nice Eye and Great Shot! Most everyone sees things. Some of us put a lens on and capture what we see at that moment in time for life. Thank You.

Maybe some of the state workers on this site developed ptsd from secondary trauma they experienced at work. Maybe that is a reason for the high emotion and defensiveness on this thread and in some of the comments I have made myself and why this argument has been going on for years. When you have trauma it is hard to let it go and you keep revisiting it no matter how upset it makes you. The more I read the anger on this thread more compassion I feel for the staff because I feel for sure the conditions were traumatizing. I am really glad I found this
website.

Emotions are really high in these comments. Usually, when i comment on this website i only comment about the stuff which triggers my ptsd and my emotions are dominating my thoughts.

Today I am a health care advocate. I work in nursing facilities. I work with a great guy who was in a state institution for people with intellectual disabilities for decades. He's been living in his own apartment for a few decades and has had an incredibly valuable and fulfilling life since. I am so glad it wasn't wasted.

The other day we were talking to a women about the conditions she is subjected in the nursing facility she told us she was scared of the nursing aid who "cared" for her in the morning. For example, she threatened to drop her on the floor and break her head if she didn't stop complaining. My coworker told her with lots of compassion that he knew, because he had been there many times. She was afraid to report because of the repercussions, but agreed to talk to state ombudsman about her options and the protections he could provide. When I talked to the ombudsman a few weeks later he told me he had gone to visit her only to learn that she had reported the nurse to the facility administration who had fired the abusive aid. That took so much strength. I think it was the compassion of my friend that sparked it in her.

I worked in a state hospital in NH briefly in high school. There were a few good staff and most were average and grumpy with no training. Just dumb trainings that made no sense to them. The day staff never saw the night staff except at shift change. In my experience in psychiatric hospitals when the staff are alone with you some of them are abusive. Well, there goes my ptsd. Anyway, some people are blind to the abusive ways of their coworkers either because they look the other way on purpose or they are in another room and don't see it. A lot of people might think the way they treat others is appropriate behavior modification when it is experienced as abusive. When people have been institutionalized and leave the institution with the proper supports they prosper. Plus it is a hell of a lot cheaper for society. Its a good thing.

woah it took me 15 seconds to the bottom of the page!!! I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT THIS PLACE NOW MOTTS!!!!!!!!

to alex,
it was probably in the cube of building 7 right? back behind the vents.... yea me and my friend just checked it out.... its an axel that powers the pumps for the air conditioning.... if you walk a cuple feet to the left.. youll see a gigantic generator or motor used to backup power for it

Thanks. Me too Larry D

most of building 7 is ridden with biohazardous signs so its not really a good idea to go in.... but its fun anyway... just wear a respirator

i was just in there cuple days ago.. climbed up onto that perpindicular running hallway into the windows on the second floor... the mourge is freaky and in the room right behind the mourge on the other side is a smaller room with one single chair sitting right in the middle facing the body chutes
