My mom came by the other day and I was telling her about this site and she looked at me and said ' why are so intrested in mental hospitals" especiallys ones that arent open.. I mean I explained ofcourse but I thought it was funny that she asked me like I was weird or the only person in the world that enjoys this and I told you " Ma you have no idea what kind of market online and other wise this has" she was a little surprised..But I know u guys have to love it just as much as me if not more...lol

It also may have been to lock up patients belongings that were of value if they mistakingly came in with something worth anything...

I love it so much, you know I look at some of the things in these pics and say to myself those things are so old you could get a pretty penny for them. I know that there is patrol at most places but some one should try to roll that out of there ( I moticed it had wheels) because even though it is a bit of a mess I know that someone would pay good cash for that...

This is not a nice room at all, horrible colors and very boring

The black brick is strange but interesting. Thats a horrible railing.
It almost looks as though the chairs are posing, like a team of superheros about to go into a fight.
Wow, those little columns are a wonderful little detail.
hey wanderer, i have a subscription, but they never send me my paper

i have a feeling though, that they don't have anything worth reading about
on the topic, as they don't have any answers to any of this, any more
than the Village, or the owners, or you or I for that matter.

They can decree October, like some kind of Rapture prediction
all they want, right? Who's going to pay?
Are there behind the scenes deals being made?
The Village cannot pay.They have attempted to cover their ass by
condemning and ordering demo. Fair enough. When a higher
authority than the Village municipality is compelled to act based
on an immediate danger, maybe then you might see movement?
Who knows? How do you compel the owner to spend millions
to do this, without a guarantee of revival of the development
proposed? More lawsuits? It seems like the dozens of lawsuits
through the decades continue, and people just Pay for THAT...
pay the fines, whatever....Just the Cost of Doing Business

And then do whatever the hell is in their own best interests.
Which is what makes sense. That is what people do.

Maybe they are hoping for a bolt of lightning, decreed by Zues,
directly from Mount fuckin Olympus, who the hell knows?

I really prefer to let it Rot. I am totally serious. I think it looks cool.
I saw it in the early dawn mist this past weekend. It looked cinematic as hell. Just a scenic view.
I like ruins. But then I don't have to live next to it. But I also don't have any realistic ideas.

I have plenty of really fun stupid ideas.
How about fill and encase the thing in concrete, like Chernobyl.?
But make the exterior look like a sand castle.It would be like a
Millbrook version of Mt Rushmore.

Or use helicopters to douse the whole thing in phosphouresecent
glow in the dark paint. It will the scariest looking house ever.
Think big, like Spielberg or Ridley Scott There is a ton of cash to be
made out of this hulk, yet!! Where the hell are America's top film
location scouts.

I have many stooopid ideas, but they are all better to spend money on
than giving it to a bunch of freakin hump lawyers. Like, let it rot, or
shell out the cash to tear it down already! The whole legal aspect to this situation is a joke, the owner could easily claim selective enforcement after the village's failure to enforce code, for..DECADES.

so i don't think anyone involved at all is in any position at all to tell anyone else they Have to Do Anything really. Which explains the stalemate that exists. The lawyers have a field day, nothing gets done,
and everyone pats themselves on the back that they've complied with
"'the law"

They can try to adhere to the letter of the law [they can't] or even the spirit of the law [they won't] but in the meantime..

it's up to Gravity, baby!!....[or should that be down to gravity?]

Ephemera: Reperages
It looks like she is crying for her loss!
I attended Eden Hall and was in the last graduating class in 1969. It was all on television, but it was so so sad. My mother and grandmother graduated from Eden Hall too! This chapel was beautiful and brought peace to anyone who entered. It makes me sick to think what vandals did to her, what a shame. I have never seen another church or chapel that could equal the workmanship. Eden Hall will always be in my heart!

Danke Mr. Motts! Ich freue mich besonders, wenn ich hier Bilder aus Deutschland zu sehen bekomme.
Und ich frage mich jedesmal 'Wo findet der Mann die Locations [in D] immer?' :)

Viele Grüße aus Deutschland,
