Wow... clearly a message from a time you could actually punish workers. I will elaborate my comment with the following story. Hope you enjoy it.

M = Manager W = Worker R = Worker's Representation (lawyer, union rep, whatever)

1960s or prior
M: "HEY! Why did you just throw that off the balcony? Can't you read? You know what? I don't care. You're fired! Get out!"

NOWADAYS
M: "HEY! Why did you just throw that off the balcony? Can't you read? You know what? I don't care. You're fi--"

R: "Um, what seems to be the problem here?"

M: "This a**hole just threw something off the balcony and hit that guy in the head down there. This is unacceptable. He's fired."

R: "I am afraid not."

M: "What are you talking about? Why not?"

R: "My client has rights that you are clearly violating."

W: "That's right. You're violating my rights. I was laughed at once when I was a child, and then you made fun of me for not reading good."

M: "Violating your rights? What about the victim? What about his rights? And, furthermore, what about the cost of the equipment you destroyed?"

W: "I don't give a f*** about that. That's YOUR problem."

R: "Correct. The 'victim' shouldn't have been there. Furthermore, you shouldn't put people in charge of your equipment if it's sooo valuable. If anything, you and the 'victim' should be fired for being negligent. If you fire my client, we'll sue. We will sue the s*** out of you!"


Oh, yeah, this is also from a time when saying "workmen" was proper because they wouldn't let women work the lines. I wonder if Studebaker had many women on the line before closing up shop?

That sure would be a helpful tool to help nail a picture to the wall. Hammers are just so complicated!

The large pedal is for 1000's, and the small one is for 100's.

Those are being installed at all IRS offices to fully facilitate maximum extraction. The IRS model has heavy restraints on the stirrups, which operate to an extended range.

Clearly, ceiling tile from above that could no longer handle the water. nice close up, though, as, like everyone else, I agree that this looks like someone dialed a #2...

So as of 2011, is this place still standing?

Zombie Can-Can dancers will be taking the stage soon.

"Full victory"? How'd that one work out? Ouch.

It's time you "correct" some things, Mr. Torrence.

Many houses in the area have the exact same color roof. This may had been a source for repair tiles.

Iron nails on those roof tiles that are finally rusting away? Those tiles were meant to last forever. I wonder if somebody has been grabbing them? It almost looks like somebody cut a little area out to climb out and get them, was climbing out a dormer, etc..

Ditto on NO! And THANK YOU for the awesome shoot, AND posting lots of lots of the images you had! And then there's the what? 200 plus shoots by now that haven't been posted yet? 300 plus? ;o)

Open the door, dead body falls forward....

May had been a former Soviet leader. Not everyone wanted their statuary around after the fall. And yeah, those leaded glass sashes were real nice until some goofball smashed them! Bunch of 'em too. Serious duh.

Looks like some old Peter Max flavored decorations. I didn't know Peter Max was secretly signaling aliens and zombies! That sneaky rascal.

I used to paint high areas like that for a living. *shudders*

Those banister-bandits sure were busy in this place. No place to be clumsy or careless. Many death-dives await into the dark pit of zombies.
