It's funny Canada, because the new transformers movies transformers 2 at 55 minutes in the movie the shot mright before they drop the car and that whole scene after that takes place is supposed to take place in there.
This place has been beautifully renovated, I work in the building closest to the Fire Dept now, very nice. Many of the buildings are now luxury apartments, also very nice but very overpriced as well.
Kathy W - I'm on my way with the beer, but they wouldn't let me take the grill out of Wales. Said they need it for their national dish. Cheese on toast ;)
"Actually, that's a Speakman showerhead, quite a good showerhead. Stem-mounted Speakman showerheads can be found in Marriott and Westin hotels, as well as the White House."
No wonder the state ran out of money to care for these places...
Interestingly enough Janet Frame was nearly lobotomized right before she won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Guess that would make the good doctor look bad, especially after what happened to Rosemary Kennedy.
I kind of agree with Kevin - it seems that the perceptions most ppl have about these places is based on stupid B-horror movies. Blood on the walls? Yeah, right.
I have my doubts that it was fingernails. Those doors are pretty heavy looking.
Fingernails (I don't think) could make those marks.
The semi-circular shape is too consistant.
Side note: Since the marks are on the right side of the window and a majority of people are right handed it would seem that whoever did this was right handed
I'm sure some things just weren't worth taking...like the monstrous pool table. Who wants to deal with that? Although I love the game of pool, so it really pains me to see it sitting there, festering with mold!
OMG!!, The pic is so scary, Only for laundry?? are you completly sure?? The history about this places tolds another things, like abuse and torture, maybe this cages were used with other purposes than laundry :-) :-(
