Nice picture.

I volunteered to work with the retarded at the Belchertown State School while I was a college senior in 1981/2. The school even then was in the process of closing down. I think It was down to three filled dorms at the time with the promise of being closed all together soon. We would take our clients on walks or just visit with them, many were profoundly retarded, almost all were lonely. The campus was huge, sad, place filled with forgotten people, many had been dumped there by their family. The management tried to make the best of things though. There was rumored to be a carousel on the property as a joyous space for the clients but that was abandonned as being age-inappropriate. Thanks for your shots, they were very evocative and brought a lot of memories back.

Interesting !

great pic of a fly ball governer

What kind of meds do they take?

Fascinating and very interesting.

this room is big and open and i like it!

i dont know why, but this makes me think of a dancing duck...

this scares the crap out of me. besalkfj drugh sjdbhefju hjsrhe !!!!!!

maybe i'm just sheltered or dumb, but who is nurse ratchet?????

this is kinda disturbing in nature, but this would be a cool place for senior photos or something other of that nature. ... The meanings behind each pic could be endless and wonderful...

I LIVED IN THAT ROOM TOO IN 79. Do I know you?

wow, so many people griping out graffiti... Why gripe? It's there. It's going to stay there. Probably shouldn't have been put there in the first place, but it happens...

It's abandoned anyways. it's not as if it's someone's private house. nobody has to actually reside there. [if they dont want to anyways, i suppose.] and if you do want to live there, you obviously dont mind the graffiti...

<br/> ok i am way off track. sry about the venting... ok bye

hm.. i wouldnt want to touch the bottle.... something about it makes me cringe, lol

um, i'm waiting for something to jump out and eat me. this makes me think of "house on haunted hill"... the one with the girl who plays clear rivers on final destination and famke johansson (i think... i could SO have that name totally wrong...) but yeah... scares the crap outta me...
