That is an amazing photograph. A book is an awesome idea.

I check back to your sight periodically to see what's new (found this because of the Danvers deal - my husband sold the windows to Avalon for the project; we are both kinda creeped out by the whole thing) I loved the defunct amusement park in RI (been there) and really enjoyed the abandoned motel in upstate NY - yuck! But seeing this picture made me gasp. A piece of my past has been destroyed...razed. Why couldn't it have been my crappy high school instead????

Beautiful.
I cried.
(well, I teared up a bit)

I am pretty sure the 'house' in the background used to be a floral shop. Off to the left is a small strip mall that had a tux shop (that's all I remember, as Prom was king. Further left was the McDonald's)

I used to go there in high school & a little after (85-88) It was, fortuitously, located across from a McD's, and suspiciously close to a 'package store'. I am very sad to hear it's gone. I want my kids to experience a drive in movie sometime.

Actually... it looks like the paint went on strike and is refusing to stick to the walls.

I'm sorry Ed that you even had to answer that one...

Off hand I would say the fire deparment, or deparment of safety, or some such agency would have them put on. Bad form to leave the patients to stir fry. I'm sure there was an evacuation plan that took security into account.

who would put a fire escape on a building with known psychos?

OMG!!!! it looks like a patient went on a slaughter fest........or had major issues!

Thanks Pat. No question -- Mott's has the pix and you have the words! Off the charts awesome on every level.

wow, I love all those mechanical machinery shots.

pretty awesome, strange seeing the contrasting power lines in the background.

does anyone see a face in the window up top w/ a hand that looks like its coming out of it. creepy

creepy but cool
