I wonder why the "normal" fridges have such heavy duty latches and the "high risk" fridge just has a cheap little sliding latch?

Hmmmm......

I grew up in the neighborhood just opposite the "Edgewood Hospital Building" across Comac Road in the "60's when this place was active. This building was my view out the front door for 20 years. Talk about eerie..we used to play on the grounds of Pilgrim State Hospital and Edgewood. I was always fascinated with this place. Only once I had seen a documentary on TV with Geraldo Rivera about Pilgrim State. Remember when he used to video "Willowbrook" on Staten Island? Its cool to see this website and everyones interest in this place.

was this hospital bigger than danvers

i think the ramp leads to the old mortuary!

As far as why things still run through the station...the power grids are very complicated and the power route for this area may have had to be rebuilt entirely in order to by pass this station........Since there is no power generation here whats left just comp[letes the circuit to get power out to its distribution points

Did anyone catch the FELIX the cat refrance to the villan Master cylinder??

Well unless the people exploring this building carry chalk on them at all times, I suspect that the board was manufactured with the road/sky drawn on and the idea was to play with that scene with your car, animal, and maybe people magnets, and you could add to the background by drawing birds, exhaust smoke, bikes, etc. etc with chalk. Either that or a staff member drew the picture on with a china pencil/white pencil crayon. Those things do not easily rub off chalkboards. My school teachers had chalkboards that they drew horizontal lines across with white or blue pencilcrayon, like lined paper, as a guide for learning to print letters evenly. You could wipe off your writing after but the lines remained. However, because of the presence of the car and dog magnets, I think the image was likely manufactured on and then you could add to it, erase, and add something different.

I don't know, but unless these stairs were bolted to the wall there, I'd suspect they were moveable for access rather than therapy. Maybe a high shelf, or something the nurses or maintainence people needed to reach higher up. They just got left sitting aside in the room. Otherwise, that is an unusual physical therapy stairway.

The sense of depth in this photograph is truly wonderful. The wheelchair, columns, and debris gives it a great sense of perspective. Absolutely wonderful photograph, Motts!
