"Blue Coal" was for years the sponsor of the old "Shadow" mystery program on the Mutual radio network from 1937 through 1946.

"Before tonight's exciting program begins, here's a word from your neighborhood Blue Coal dealer. Blue Coal is distinguished by the harmless blue dye that indicates you're buying America's finest anthracite." Et cetera. It brings back memories and can be heard online even today. So the building may be abandoned, and the company may be gone, but "The Shadow" is still alive.

I take a really long time to process my photos - each is handled and processed individually. Then I need to research the history of the place, write up a synopsis of it and what I can remember from the outing, then upload and title each photo, so yes I'm a bit backed up :-)

Yes, it's an evil conspiracy.

Actually, the reason is because most of the campus WAS demolished or renovated in 2002 - when I visited in 2005, there was only a single abandoned building left. The dates are general - it would be impossible to nail down a particular year if the site was being demolished over a long period of time, which they usually are.

"Hopper" is Pennsylvania slang for "toilet," so at first I just thought "okay, yeah, that's what it is." Then I saw it was square and about 4 feet off the ground...
