I have pictures of Gaebler on my facebook if you want to see them you have to add me as a friend, my name is Michelle Woods-Godfroy, I was at Gaebler from 82-84 and on Ward D, it was a nightmare to say the least, but, I did try to joke a lot to stop from being so scared, I met the best of friends there and promised myself that I would come out of there and make something of myself since the rest of the world had written me off including my mother, I didn't have a father, my mother was raped and kept me, I do have a stepfather now. I am happily married with 2 beautiful girls, I have the most loving caring husband in the world and I have had a hard life but, I am standing tall and never let them get the best of me....I hope that you are doing well, and sorry that you have such a bad memory of that place that it went with you wherever you went. The building is now gone, it was demolished a couple months ago, I live in Waltham and have ever since I was there and I took as many pictures and video's that I could during the process of it being taken down which is on my facebook. Boiler1220 is an amazing guy, he is sweet, funny and so good to be around, so glad that I met him, we should all get together sometime...

I would think earth tone colors would be more relaxing. Not this bright green/blue. The chair & lamp don't seem to mind though!

LOL!! You guys crack me up! Strange this stuff was left behind.

No, not "Next meals" but "Next meal is"
and the thrid line after the Day is
"Season is: spring"

First line is "Psychiatric Center"
Followed by
"Today is: Monday, march 23th, 19..."
"The weather is: Sunny"
"... Easter"
"Next meals: Lunch"

I agree with evilavatar...you are the ONLY person I know Mr. Motts that enjoys breaking INTO a prison lol. I am sure the people there would want the exact opposite! :D

I agree with Canada...well said! :)

I love the colors too on this one...it looks so...dare I say...HAPPY?

I am surprised at the lack of graffiti here too. It really makes this place beautiful in its slow decay. :)

Wow, I almost thought that was a dead black cat underneath the vent. Glad to see it is only black sludge.

Yeah..I know this is OT too, but at least the Coney Island Texas Weiner place re-opened not too long ago after a horrible fire there. I live in Green Ridge, so I am on the other side of the city. :)

A D Nilsen--yes, I do, but I also have a very full heart. :)

I love the perspective on this picture BTW...skewed upwards. Nice brick on the other building!

OMFG Rekrats and Tjcee! I do THE SAME THING! When I go somewhere I think I wonder what this would look like in 50 years, all abandoned and destroyed by time...and if there will be a Motts to photograph it and many people on the Internet looking at the photos and commenting on them.

I drive my hubby CRAZY talking about that kind of stuff. See what you have done to us Mr. Motts? :D

Oooh...another mystery! That note can say ANYTHING...

Maybe it says "Please find me a friend" ?

Your right Mama, that green sure is depressing. Like the lonely wheel though!

LMAOOOO ooooh boy...thanks for that A D Nilsen! I am going to hide under my bed now...

Yeah Rekrats, I think you are right on BOTH counts!! I WANNA MEET MR. MOTTS! :( He didn't even wish me a happy birthday.... *sobs*

Mmmm Larry...now I want sherbet! I have leftover birthday cake to go wtih it!
