Just too clinical my sweet Lynne. There was a bag of sweets in there just for Joanne and Larry. Mystical drugs of the human race couldn't have imagined. Waiting for them to partake to make the last sacrifice in our time worn lives. Just kidding Lynne, I love you, you know that by this time. Oops, just kidding again.
Lordy, I hope Joanne and Larry made it out alive. It's syringes, labs, and nice curved clinical features. Where are you Joanne and Larry, we want to know. We love you and hope you survived the madness.
Felice- I don't "want' to "do" anything with
"the place" as you refer to it
{I assume you mean Halcyon, rather than my slightly off-topic preceding post referring to
an architecturally related site;] I merely
Advocate Preservation, Where Possible.
Anyone reading any of my preceding posts
as CAREFULLY as I have tried to WRITE them will see that I have commended the developer
where warranted in their attempts to do just that, and that I am as informed as Anyone as
to the UNSALVAGEABLE state of most of these buildings.
Your cute couplet about "having the pesos
to have the say sos" {sic}, speaks for itself
in regarding the base mentality of not just
the mindset supportive of this particular
issue of development, but of the sadly
myopic attitude in Millbrook in general regarding its' physical, social, and historical
legacy.
If it is a wealth based meritocracy
determining local public policy that you
advocate, then touche'...you have that in spades.Congratulations. What is so
objectionable then,about an expression
of Advocacy for Preservation,Where Possible,
for this, or any other future endangered local site of
architectural or cultural signifigance?
Particularly here in a forum dedicated to
the appreciation and lamentation of places
that are considered artistic, neglected or special for WHATEVER reason?
The fact is, if i had a "peso' to spare, the
last thing i would do is spend even a fraction
of it in the desperatley pretentious, plastic shithole of a
"community" that passes for Millbrook these days. Who could blame any smart developer
for sensing a great opportunity to cash in on
an upscale country town hell-bent on selling out what makes
it special in the first place? Millbrook is a smart
developers' moist, wet dream orgy. It is a marriage made in Heaven. Enjoy the wedding by all means, 'cuz the marriage itself is spring -loaded to be rough for you, me, or anyone else
invested in any way with the outcome of
the current scenario, whatever any of our opinions, public or private.
Obviously my extended family has spent more
than a few "pesos" over the last fourteen decades
building what is Millbrook in the first place.
So you'll forgive my current lack of veneration for the
wealth-rated pecking order expected, relative
to commentary,{ or even opinion it would seem.}
Your pictures are simply amazing! I stumbled on this site when I was looking things up about asylums and stuff. I have been addicted since. Keep it up :)
