OMG Nancy, My mother would tell me the same thing! "If you don't stop crying", I'm gonna send you to KALAMAZOO STATE HOSP! Nice, really made me feel like I could talk to her about my problems! I have never forgotten that cruelness!!!!

Cudos, Lynne-I'll be a player on your team any day! I've been RN for 36yrs & have done the early psych stuff at Kalamazoo State Hosp (late 60's). I had tunnel vision going into that place. Can remember the primitive cage like cells on 3rd floor for women. Can remember ECT, read about lobotomies & have taken care of a few who had been victums of that cruel surgery. But bottom line- there is a fine line between sanity & insanity!

I agree with DaveWilly. They do resemble sports banners, like ones you'd see hanging in a gymnasium. One could only guess what they were or what they were doing here

That's awesome. I too at first glance thought the lights were on. Then I immediately knew that wasn't possible. Great deceptive shot. Were you going for the try and fool people approach with this shot, or did that even cross your mind when you took this?
