New sites being posted make for a very good day. Thanks!

Motts, I'm so glad you go to this place before they tore it down. I did a study there on esp and they locked me in one of the patient rooms!

I don't think there are any buildings left. Might be some tunnels underneath where they're not building new homes, but they're more than likely filled in.

I live across the street from this place and have always wondered what it looked like inside. Harvard has the property now so I'm wondering what
going to happen to it. Thank you posting these.

Is there anything left there now? Buildings or tunnels? Where is the best place to park?

Thanks, Barnabas. I didn't get it until reading your comment. Now that I can 'see' it, it makes the perspective of the pic even better ! ! ! !

Reminds me of the restrooms at a state campground in the FLA Everglades in the mid 1980s. It was difficult to go 'in public' but when you gotta go...you gotta go.

Brains?

Saftey awards?

Hi; while I'd like to think my photography work consists more of pandering (that's up to you), I fail to see how posting a photograph of found Polaroids violates the ADA or Alabama law. I think that if anything, Bryce Hospital has violated HIPPA law by leaving identifiable photographs of patients laying around after vacating the building, no?

I blur out faces, names, social security numbers, and all kinds of personal information left behind in these places, and I think it's important to show people the reality of what gets left behind in disused buildings despite the laws that have been put in place to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

One more comment, your posting of these types of pictures is nothing more that pandering to the worst side of peoples curosity. However, your posting of the poloroids, etc, that included pictures of patients, is a direct violation of the ADA (federal American Disabilities Act ), and Alabama Law. Take them down!

I worked there for 30 years. Your pictures only show the trash it became after being abandoned by the courts and politics. It wasn't a pleasent place, but a great deal of compassion was shown by the people who worked there with the patients. More than shown by the probate courts that committed the people to get them out of the way.

"Kudzu was first introduced to the United States in 1876 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The Soil Erosion Service recommended the use of kudzu to help control erosion of slopes which led to the government-aided distribution of 85 million seedlings and government-funded plantings of kudzu..."

Kudzu root contains starch and can be made into many different dishes. But it's not exactly a staple food. I'm Chinese and I hardly ever eat kudzu products.

I think you nailed it, Ozzy, that's definitely what it is. :-)

DME, you are right on the money with your comments. We comment on the same things (i.e. shopping carts) when we go shopping. In fact, will take carts back into the store on our way in and then shake our heads in amazement when we come back out ten minutes later and find just as many (if not more) back in the same place.
