hummm western electric amps in there? if so there could be 400$ worth of amp sitting on the floor.neat pic

this entire album is amazeing.

I went to Bennett College the year it closed - 1976-77. It was quite sad, as at the end of the year all the students were called for a meeting and told the college was in financial difficulty but planned to reopen in the fall. Perhaps many students families made other plans over the summer and enrollments were insfufficient to reopen in the fall. I head the announcement about 1 week before school was to resume. Students were told records would be transferred to another school closer to NYC and their credits would transfer there. I went to Buffalo to finish my 2 year degree instead.

Many years later I learned Bennett had closed due to inability to repay NY state Dormatory Authority loans taken out on newer co-ed dorms and when enrollments declined the state would not offer any flexability. This caused the closing of the College. A nearly identical fate nearly occurred to the college I eventually completed a BFA degree from - Cazenovia College. Only for them, the town business people came together and helped the college regroup. kholden@twcny.rr.com

I doubt if any hospital ever used coffins as beds. But such a story could easily stem from the use of "Utica cribs" in the nineteenth century. Their size and shape had a coffin-like appearance, although the sides were slatted rather than solid.

It's hard in comments like this to discern a writer's motivation when all we have is the words. The benign "gallows humor" of a person working in mental health can come across just the same as someone else's uneducated or mean-spirited derision.

I sincerely hope that all ATV riders wear proper protective equipment, especially helmets. Brain injuries can really make a person "crazy." One of the scariest things about traumatic brain injuries is that in civilian life, they are nearly all preventable.

thank you

I'm from the area ladies and gents... the Hotel Sterling still stands as is in the very last picture posted on this site.

And this is why God gave us the courtesy flush. Being constipated isn't so bad I guess.

I love images like this... trying to imagine the stories that once unfolded here... echos from yesterday... expressions long since forgotten.
Wonderful journey. Thank you for sharing it.

Game over!
Cue Hello Zepp and fade out.

Where are you going to get tools for something that small? As always, great shot

Most likely the shadow is from the person taking the picture due to using the flashlight.
