Now let Frank explains this one being photoshopped!! I mean im new to this site but you never dis Motts hes the maker of this site why would he go and ruin a picture and use photoshop?!?! I mean seriously!!!!

Well i go there a lot at lunch time, it is now a large wooded field called a nature walk.

very morbid

That makes me sad for some reason

Stay away from the box DME . . . Its nothing but trouble.

OMG it does look cool when you cross your eyes!!! Thanks dixnites!

Hey Twug on your first comment don't you mean "green blue??"?
JW see we all make mistakes

whoa, they're building up there!
Do they know the cause yet? This Hospital carries a lot of scary stories / happenings that we have discussed over the years.

Ever watch Session 9? It is real freaky watching that movie after hearing a bunch of the stories in advance, like the gallow tree for instance.... The tree the guy is leaning on at the end is the tree that many people chose to hang themselves from.

Sorry I don't know of any sites Allie, but there are lots of local stories that I'm sure at least a few of have been published somewhere... unfortunately my source for most of them eventually took his own life as well.

I did nearly end up in cuffs myself one time I went up there. I had been up before with friends that went to the Agricultural school nearby, so I didn't think it was a big deal. I think Session 9 drew too much attention to it.... but it's really probably best to leave the hill alone anyway.

Oh, Motts - this is a wonderful shot! I love the angle and the composition. This needs to be wallpaper for sure! (did Lynne already ask that?)

To all of the people giving Motts crap for not exploring the rest of BSS, have you even looked at the rest of his site? While you all post stories of your explorations here like you're the shit, he continues to expand upon what I think is the most comprehensive collection of abandoned facilities ever. Yes, I've been to BSS as well and not for the "creepy" thrill you all love to mention to make you sound brave. It's a very solemn space that deserves the utmost respect and the way you all describe your "visits" makes me sick. I have a feeling that even if many of you read the history you'd still have the same ignorant perception. Get a life.

Wow, favorite shot on the site, wallpaper please?

Ok so you cover up the asbestos and build/renovate around it. People live, work, or whatever in this new building for years and a few start dieing of cancer. They find out that the company just covered up the asbestos instead of removing it, welcome to a large lawsuit. Still think it's worth it for the company to just cover up the asbestos?

After a certain point a building is just not salvagable. It has rotted away for a long time and at this point it would not be worth the large amount of money it would take to reconstruct the building in a way that would be safe to those that would inhabit it.
It's sad yes, but it makes sense. For everyone that complains about companies choosing to go the less costly route of demolishing and replacing the building instead of renovating, are you willing to foot the bill? Are you wiling to pay the huge amount of money it would take to renovate the building in order to keep "the history alive" even if said renovations would result in a building that probably wouldn't be as functional for your purposes as a new purpose build building would be?

Yes it's sad to see old buildings be demolished but sometimes practicality has to come in play. Sometimes it's just not worth the extra cost (since no one is willing or able to pay that extra cost) just for the sake of history. Really it's the original abandoning that needs to be stopped. Find a way to keep these old buildings in use even just as a way to keep the buildings from rotting while someone figures out what to use them for. But if a company can't afford to keep their property going and no one wants to or can buy it what choices are there?

"here was a"

A what? Talk about a cliffhanger!
