Damn, you're good. =8-o

Em, don't forget the part where they squirt this stuff in your mouth while you are reclined backward at an angle, and then you think you are choking to death or may-haps going to vomit and so you do some really bizarre athletic activities to try to regain your composure but in your attempts to reorient yourself you accidentally and without malice aforethought brutalize the dentist and/or her dental assistant(s), and then everyone wonders why dentists have such a high suicide rate. =8-o

J-131274 - now THERE is a rhetorical question for the ages . . . . . .

Felyne - the bullet, natch!

They gave me raspberry flavored goo. Hurray! A combination of a berry I hate and goo!

You know, Felyne, you're right. It is fun. So fun that I never wanna have it done again. x]

O my god when I went into this place i did see this window and i thought it was weird. Wow i now see a picture of it on a website.

I dont think that the content of this book is appropriate for young children

I'm a fire fighter, and I know that for search and rescue, you use an X system to mark a room. For example, if a search is in progress in a room, you would put a slash. Then after you complete your search, you'd make another slash to make an X.

This is interesting, however, I doubt if there was a building fire there, they would be looking for anyone. Perhaps the marking is old...
Or as someone else suggested, the rooms had been stripped of copper fittings etc.

Lynne and Felyne, you two make me warm all over. ;-) The question I had was, "How does a female (presumably) spew forth such obsenities and then sign themself "Lady " anything"?

Did someone say "Gurple"? :-(

It is lovely...yet completely terrifying to me at the same time.

This building was built between 1925 and 1931, and has been abandoned since around 1996.

I believe most of the Kirkbride is gone...

As for the doors - the walls were pretty close to the sides of the refrigerator, so if the doors opened towards the sides there would be more room to load and unload the cadavers into the trays.

Great work!
As a former employee, I am saddened that this great piece of architecture is falling into demise. You have some great photos and artwork. I love the angel in the corridors. Myself I find it bittersweet, as there was much sadness and suffering behind those walls and in those very corridors.

Cold storage lockers in the kitchens I think? The 'X's in Whittingham do seem to be a bit random - why bother?

It's a note put up by security to scare the timid. :-) Nothing more, nothing less.
