Why they didnt just kill me is my only question?

I GOT TO SAY WE AT THE SCHOOL NEVER HAD THIS MUCH FREEDOM TO DRAW THIS. KIND OF STUFF ON THE BACK WALL OF THE GYM WOULD HAVE REQUIRED ALOT OF UNSUPERVISED TIME...
THINK ABOUT IT!
DO YOU REALLY THINK THE STAFF MEMBERS AT ANY POINT FOR ANYREASON WOULD BRING us CANS OF SPRAY PAINT AND MARKERS AND LEAVE US WITH ENOUGH FREETIME TO DO ALL THIS DAMAGE,..WE WOULD HAVE BUT IT WASNT ANY ONE WHO WAS EVER A RESIDENT AT GAEBLER WHO DID THESE ARTSY FARTSY THINGS ON THE WALL OF THIS GYM!
AND THE PENIS ART ALSO ,...
KIDS IN WALTHAM WHO LOVE TO PARTY LOVE GAEBLER SCHOOL...
THEY CAN GET AWAY FROM HOME AND GO TO A PLACE NO ONE WILL LOOK AND FUCK AND PARTY ALL NIGHT LONG AS WELL AS .
.ITS A WIN WIN! ROCK ON! PUNK ASSES HAVE A BLAST,...But dont make me wonder who really belongs there ,...lol!

Looks more like dietary needs, modified=mod, chopped, whole, etc.

I would just like to add that we werent able to get a can of spray paint in to the building we didnt have visitors and we had no contact with the outside world..So the art you see around in the gym was not done by the kids that were there the art was done by kids partying in the place ,..

There is a place in Ligonier, PA called Storybook Forest (near Idlewild Park I think) I remember that place when I was a kid, and then I took MY kids there when they were young (and older too) I may be wrong, but I think Storybook Forest once went thru a phase where the park was closed, but then it was "resurrected" It uses both figures and live actors to tell stories. A lot of the places smell like mildew tho. We had a little place near our home that was a type of StoryLand, I think, I believe I'm going to go that way tomorrow and check out whats remained of it.

I looked at the original photo - it's a grave marker (most likely metal), #889 or somewhere around there...

It is between the lanes.

I'm curious about the figure in the pic...Mr. Motts, was there some sort of post or something there that could be interpreted as a "person"?

There were chairs exactly like this in the hospital I currently work for...about 35 yrs ago I remember being in one with a broken leg...they had smaller ones for kids. The hospital still has the chairs, but they are safely under the lock and key of the lone nun who still works there, she's about 88-90. Old lady still does "furniture rounds" just about every day, too....

Lynne, bless you for the link to the soap dispenser-yep, we had 'em from grade school til Jr. High. Nasty powdered soap...

That is W7 not w6 because it has fenceing on the 3rd floor roof .

I wish the fdny would do something about the losing of their nautical history, they have a museum and restoration volunteers for the land based engines found and recovered.
