I always found it ironic that Alice in Wonderland was used so much for children. Especially seeing how Lewis Carroll was rumored to have had a "strange" relationship with the young girl he wrote the story for as well as other children. The story and it's author definitely has a darker side.
On Nov.20th Tim Tice, owner of Exmoore,
along with Millbrook resident and entrepenuer Paul Orofino,
filed suit against The Millbrook Planning board, for flagrant abuse,
ignorance, and gross violation of Open Meeting Laws, in particular in relation to
handicapped access laws, as well as the
"sped-up" nature of the proceedings, the
bait & switch aspect that has characterized
the nature of these proceedings at least as long as Mott has been photographing the
site, and at least as long as I can remember anyone but me bitching about it all....ho ho ho...
Some Serious People Care what happens, and don't ,to this place, for reasons of Their Own...the word iz the developah wants it all on the fast track, presure, pressure...
Their are also allegations of gross disregard
of historical criteria for preservation
ignored. I would guess this is in regards to Exmoore. But who knows? The promises for the Monument were also extremely vague. The
latest evalution had that as a resource
actually endangered by this development.
What is good for saving history? What are the wiser decisions to make as a generation
to leave the next? What is smart development , what is zoning? When is commerce bad, when is {actual] conservatism Good?
When does the common voice finally get
it's point on record? Before all the rammed
through, backroom ballrub fuck-fix deals
that are NEVER UN-Doable in this country..
When?
Halcyon Hall is to me a boxer who just won't go Down...a fighter who will never tap out.
Just like the children patients...you can grow up and look towards the wide open sky all you want but at the end of the day, you will still be in a cage. Very depressing.
There is so much talk of elevators that I just wanted to throw a little bit of useless information out there. The next time that you are in a hotel that has 14+ floors, notice that 9 out of 10 times there will not be a button for the 13th floor. Unsure of the reason but interesting atleast :)
It's true that used correctly, hydrotherapy can be a very therapeutic tool. However, in the early days and especially at this particular location, I'm not convinced they were used to give nice, warm, muscle-soothing baths. Somehow, there is pain in this picture and that object. Also, I haven't seen the infamous picture but I had an episiotomy and ya'll are right...some things should NEVER be sewn up lol
Perhaps this is a very ominous observation on my part but I can't help but speculate what these tunnels were used for. I have found that most of the time, tunnels such as these were used for the transport of bodies so that the other patients would not see the dead. Regardless of their use, they give off a very "dead feeling" to me. Sad.
