wow, that carpeting looks brand new

This is totally natural decay. No broken windows or any vandalism. Great!

The windows are all intact and the floors are caving in, very strange. The walls seem to have moss too

Studebaker built military trucks of a design by REO in the plant in Mishawaka Ind.where they built Wright Cyclone B-17 engines during the war.After the South Bend Automobile production ceased in 1963 the military contracts were taken over by Kiaser Corporation in the same plant.Kiasers truck and Jeep production was later bought by American Motors who continued production in the plant and others.The military division was named AM General and also made postal vehicals.AM General was spun off before the purchace of American Motors by Chrysler Corporation.They developed the military Humvee(Hummer) and I believe the proto-type was built in the truck plant although production was elswhere.I think the Humvee mil-spec is out of production and AM General no longer exists.General Motors owns the rights to produce civilian Hummers.I would speculate the engines in the photos belong to the reciever of AM General.They were probably kept around to sell to foriegn governments who purchased surplus military trucks.A few Studebaker built 6x6 were still in U.S.Army Reserve and Gard Units into the 1980s.

Oddly enough in Western NY think Corning & westward there are a few places that bring back memories of the good old days. There's a drive-in not too far from my home (say 18 miles-ish) that is up to 2 screens they do a huge business during the summer but are closed during the winter and are run locally.

There's also an older-style amusement park near Jamestown called Midway Park see link:

Not all of the good old days have gone away.

As a side note there's another drive in that runs in NY state, that was a good deal for the $ in Black River NY called Black River Drive-in (just off base near Ft Drum, NY)

A seclusion door. Used to protect the very psychotic from self harm or worse yet harm from others

I was a Agency & Pool RN there... I see the halls as they were, as an avenue to the nurses station. It is sad, to see this. All of the employees were professional & cared about the patients.

Wow, jonna....I see it... yeah..

100% AGREED! Video games, Horror movies, Goth music, Slasher stories.. someone will tell me to get off my high horse, but why does everything have to have such a juvenile twisted image automatically attached to it?

Must be doing enough, the balcony has not fallen off.

For some reason, the first thing that occurred to me seeing this gorgeous photo was Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged.

Not at all sure why. Amazing shot though.

Hmm... Some people can find torture everywhere they look...

Why do you need LynnE?

Oh god...

I'm so tired of every picture reminding everyone of Silent Hill.
