here's a site you might want to check out about info on finding your roommates and friends...the owner of the site was In Traverse City State Hospital...he is also searching for former friends.
This shot really brings it home, even though we sit here on our comps looking at these pics, hhere it is.... people really did live here in varying degrees of illness, something so personal, left behind, on purpose I think to remend us that there is a history ......
I'm sorry I am not usually the type of person who likes to argue but this really burns my butt!! To all of those who are really "tresspassing" the ones who are stealing, damaging, partying and playing around in these buildings; you are the ones that need to be kept out!!! You are the reason that these buildins have to be boarded up. walled up and patroled regularly. Could you imagine if they could take the money that they have to spend on security and possibly use that money to make it reativly safer for people like Mr. Motts and the like to go in and record their history? At the very least you guy that have no respect for these ancient artifacts other thatn the cheap thrill and the all mighty dollaar arre the problems here making it harder and harder for the UEs who just want to capture a diamond in the rough, a thing of beauty that at the rate this world is going will soon be forgotten. Thank you Motts for the work that you do! Because of your insight and remarkable talent these relics will be recorded forever.
Again, These hallways just speak to me. Thinking about the people who lived and worked here. And with the light pouring in for the rooms, the windows at the end like eyes looking out hopefully.... Thanms Motts for another great shot. Shout out to Kathy who is down here somewhere visiting anew as well.
