I'll take the red pill, oops - door...

A couple of boxes appear to have a 2008 date on them. Probably a "destroy by" date. Which means that, at the time the photos were taken, the files had some time before they were required to be destroyed. Still wrong to leave them where unauthorized people can have access to them.

That is an Eames chair. It has been painted yellow. The original color would have been natural wood in either a blond-brown or dark brown color. A genuine Eames would have a tag on the bottom of the seat stating that it is Eames and from Herman Miller.

One last post. The hospital sat on about one or two hundred acres of beautifully landscaped property, almost like a golf course, and not all wards were fenced in. From the juvenile ward, we could walk the park like grounds all the way to the main highway. Why didn't we run away or escape? We were so far out in the country we didn't know where to go. Besides, it was a heck of a lot better place to be than juvenile detention in Detroit or prison where they often threatened to send us.

@ Little Nell - - I too see the "cat" under the chair before I read your comment...it looks kinda scared to be hiding under that chair.

Continuing my last post, as a juvenile patient at the hospital, I can attest to the treatment given by staff. There were weekly street parties with dancing, free roaming of the grounds, trips to state parks, a great arts program, and good food. Boys were separated from the girls, but there was socializing, both supervised and non supervised. Not every patient was the stereotype mental case, some kids were sent there simply because the parents couldn't deal with them and they weren't bad enough for the juvenile penal system.

As a young juvenile deliquent who ran away from home many times, I was sent to Ypsilanti Hospital to the children's wards. It was a wake up call for me. I do have pleasant memories of the friends I made there, both staff and other troubled teens, but especially of the social worker who got me into a foster home in six months. I then graduated high school, joined the navy and retired after twenty three years of service in submarines. At age 67, I have two wonderful kids, one having a Phd and the other an engineer. The hospital did change my life around. The hospital wasn't all that bad.

Ferdy....the wheelchair was made to hold an oxygen tank or something similar in the back

MamaTo FivelnPA, there should be a "like" button next to your comment lol

ooof

@Rick: This is exactly the sort of behavior that will make most people here sick. If you used to do this stuff but have since grown up and out of it years age, just don't even tell us - we don't want to know.

Screwing with the rent-a-cops, fine. I'm not above that myself.

Removing things from the fallout shelters just to throw them is disgusting. Do you know what a find an intact (or even largely intact) fallout shelter would be? Throwing blocks off the roof is dumb and dangerous. Finding crap like that is just what it takes to get security tightened up.

i think the "tapeworm" was a taped line down the center of the hall like a painted line on a road

Thank you much!

I see the buiilding, as a giant face devowering all who enters

all ways wanted a cell with a picket fence in front
