Guess I didn't get the message Darlene. My Bang & Olafsen turn table and stack of albums says you are wrong :)

Disco balls set the tone for having a good time - they give off a unique aura like nothing else. Thanks for the gallery, Mr. Motts, and don't stay away too long. I love coming to this site to view interesting places of days gone by.

I even see a 45 in there - been a long time since I held one of those in my hands. This pic could be titled: "Teddy and the Graveyard of Records."

I didn't even notice that chair until I read LucieLou's comment.

Hard to believe that records are now obsolete.

There is something very sad about this photo - perhaps that only a remnant of what is once was remained. It is hard to imagine enjoyable entertainment having taken place here.

Yeah, Lucielou -Euuu!
And does in not all have a cheap sordid simple look about it?
And it IS supposed to be A Fun Place - but I don´t think it even looked like so much Fun even when it was freshly + newly renovated.

I thought the alter was removed when a chapel was decommissioned?

I'm not Catholic, but I thought there was some ritual for decommissioning & desactifying a chapel.

I wonder who made the Oscilliscope kit?

We had both a Heathkit Television and a Heathkit Stereo receiver my father was forever fixing. In retrospect, I'm somewhat shocked he didn't have the Oscilloscope from Heathkit, He did get one from Intel later on.

Remember when Arnold shot the liquid villain in the face with a shotgun in Terminator 2?!

I'm pretty sure this was all part of the 'involuntary confessional' phase back in the 60's. . .

I see they also took all the shelves and the shelf pins that were in the metal tracks. These look like they were fabricated in the 60's / 70's?

Excellent title

I've said it before on that I never had a problem with graffiti. Graffiti and urban exploration will always go hand in hand and I just see graffiti as just part of the beautiful decay...a chapter in the story of decay and ghosts past...but I have to agree this time that the tags are unfortunate in this picture. The juxtaposition of graffiti and decay doesn't work here.
