Another great Gallery Motts. Motts you take wonderful pictures. Thanks again.

"Another job for Mr Clean"? I remember the old labels on bottles of Mr Clean used to say "Keep Mr Clean away from children"!

These kids were trapped and knew they were trapped. Every passage becomes a dark passage because you know that even if you escape, your playmates and friends won't. This picture encapsulates everything Pennhurst couldn't achieve.

People like Phantom make me laugh. His 'new' suction machine, taken out of that place is like any other old suction machine. The sign pictured above, however, is priceless!

I've always thought that that piping around those sinks and other fixtures were more about preventing a patient from damaging or ripping out a sink than for their ease of movement. I just don't see a viable handhold here or anything that improves mobility.

In any context, a mural such as this seems sad and aspirational. How were those kids supposed to connect with this image? It seems cruelly mocking to surround those who suffer with idealized imagos.

"...and when she saw that she was through, she gave the sofa forty two."

The fact that you admit to being so "curious" to read people's personal medical files when these folks were at a damned rough point in their lives - just to prove your own personal point - is exactly why HIPAA laws were enacted - to keep people who have no connection with the person involved from rooting through their records.

Or spooked. It's amazing how it jogs this old man's brain and returns me to times that I didn't exist. So much talent, so much hope for all, and of course Lynne, we never can never forget Lynne, nobody can.

Just another haunting from an old friend. Old JMac couldn't say anymore or less. Thank the lordy or whatever, we have the Mott's man.

These were the Nun's "stalls". The students sat in the pews.

Actually, this was the Lady chapel and it was beneath it that the Drexel relatives were originally buried.

I was baptized in this chapel when I was 11 years old and a student at Eden Hall. Knowing it is no longer there makes me very sad. It is so full of so many memories for so many people.

It's a soap dispenser, duh.

(this way to you doom ) uuuumm....... i mean lovely(blushes slightly
