perhaps a four foot tall sandwich would help.
and there's always the treat deluxe, the scooby snack.

Thanks once again! Awesome photography!

i was born with congenital defects and spent much of my childhood in these types of hospitals (designed for adults) In the early seventies visiting hours meant no parents as well. The nurses with the white uniforms and starched hats, and frequent lack of compassion-the metal beds and cold floors....bring back memories of isolation but also triumph as i am still here...and the buildings have crumbled.

So sad, lonely, and faraway...

On a clear day, you can see forever...

If I go in that black hole, will I ever come out?!

@jackieB-Those chairs were in my college dorm too! They were in the Hall Lounge. I guess those are the "standard" chairs for any institution. They look like they last forever! : )

@Boiler1220-I'm glad you remember the good times. I also remember my favorite swing that was in a park near my house-it was the type of ride that was shaped like a horse and swung back and forth. It's nice to remember the happy times of our childhood-those are the ones we should concentrate on. : )

LOL, those chairs remind me so much of college. I never liked sitting in them for too long though. Its funny to see them in hospitals too. I bet there are still a lot of these chairs on some college common areas

Im surprised the windows arent all broken. I wonder how much work was done on the inside

This was a beautiful place at one time. Its too bad its so trashed. I wonder if they will ever save it

Funny, I've been in four different hospitals and in only one was the bathroom not part of the room (though it was right outside the door). And I live in a state with one of the lowest mental health budgets in the country.

On another note, I didn't think we were allowed to tear people apart on this site, particularly on pages like this one, where former psych patients (such as myself) might post.
