What's on the slides/

1990 is when Disneyland Fun Sing Along came out!!! It was in August not November.

Luna4806, you know you can get in trouble when others read these swear words, right? No swearing!!!

That is weird. i thought you find these only in places like Hollywood, Hong Kong, and NYC

Some other " ly`s" in. Sussex. -East Hoathly-West Hoathly-Chiddingly- Now`t to do with Hell

as a state employee hired 12 years ago i am not shocked by these photos.... i am disgusted. i am the 4th generation to work for omrdd in my family and cant imagine what these people had to go through. if not for willowbrook being exposed who knows what these people would be living through now. my great grandmother refered to the consumers as her kids still at 80. i never understood it until i went to work there. since i was a kid they were always around. they came to our home. they spent holidays in our homes as part of our family. whether mildly or severely mentally retarded they are people too and the vast majority of these people were dropped there by there families and never saw them again. we are their families. you dont know until you have walked a mile in someone elses shoes...... the love that they are able to feel and return in their own way is just like the love you would share with your child who you care for and love every single day. if we dont go to work they notice.... you can tell from the reactions you get from them when you get "home". because that is what it is to them. when you're not there, you're not home and when you get home they are there with open arms or full of smiles for you. this place doesnt exist anymore. the vast majority of these people live in houses just like us and aside from the wheelchair van in the driveway you wouldnt know the difference.......be more accepting of them. they are people too and they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect just like you and i. they dont deserve to be stared at or made fun of because they are different................

Ditto on the desktop, wallpaper vote. I bet it was not Green, if this place closed in 1963, it will soon be 50 yrs. Looks almost like a park now.

Probably lots of exhaust fans and vents to the outdoors. This process, no doubt created a LOT of coal dust. Grain mills can explode from dust, let alone coal. Motts has captured an era of the worst job in the world, can you imagine the heat, dust, noise. It must of been hell on earth, but then in the 1930's a dollar was a dollar.

James had good intentions, now thanks to Mott's China knows about all this steel :-) Thank You for the new gallery Mott's. Its a treat.

if it was gonna get demolished who gives a fudge

this has been the wallpaper on my palm pre since november 09....thanks motts

Luna I think you're confused as to who broke what, as well as the reasoning behind it.

who owns the building and property now?
