Well, for the first part, the only reason there is anything about the military is because of the power plants ONLY... i go quite often, and there is only patrol cars that run by every now and then, all you have to do is take a camera and some shit, and tell them you are there for pictures for a documentry or a web site, all they can do is tell you to leave

Does that answer your question? :-)

i really what to go too the hospital tell me were

what is the address of the abandoned hospital ???????

Well said Surly Girl. My sister was in various state institutions (west coast) from '76 to '86. I visited her many times in that period and remember her various surroundings very well. Looking back, I can say the care was exceptional. In those years my sister was ages 13 to 23 and was far better off inside the bin than outside. She's been out and living on disability for more than twenty years now and seems to be managing well. From the first day I went and met staff, management, docs, (I was about ten years old), I have had the utmost respect and admiration for these in-
credible people. Surly Girl, I sincerely share your wonder (and anyone else's) of what it was like back in the day. How appropriate the good doctor popped in here :-)

It's a shame that such an interesting and once spectacular building has to go to waste like that. It had the potential to be so much more than a mental hospital, and now look what it's come to...

Poking, whining, and self-righteousness? ;-)

Just a guess, mind you.

Maybe it really is an old man' s face, hey you never know.

And you thought YOUR room needed redecorating?

i work in the local authority funded sector of this sort of work (on a very small scale compared with places like this) and even after three months (and i just work in the office) the job has blown my mind. to see the staff continuing to try to engage with and make a difference to their charges, even in the face of sometimes violent protests, makes me wonder what it must have been like in the overcrowded days of the huge US state institutions.

in the short time i have worked at my place i have already seen huge positive changes in some of the people being cared for. it's often a case of one step forward and two back, but it's progress nonetheless.

yes, bad things happened in places like this. awful, unforgivable things. but so did good things. if you stop believing in the basic humanity of people, what have you got left?

Yes but they were pretty empty and void of much interest.
