BigEd ... yes, and they would only spend a nickle lol

I assume that was the Annorexia Ward?

wow, id live there happily!!

Grifspop, me too

the hose look like a pile of intertwined snakes.... lynne... care to diagnose? lol

Looks like my highschool

Looks like some stripping has occurred here, the radiators seem to have vanished. If you look under some of the windows you can see the unpainted wall where a 'roller' wouldn't fully reach.

its even sadder to think that room dosent even exist anymore !

Most people just don't understand me
because when I look out a window
it is not tranquility or serenity I feel
but instead, extreme sadness.
I am not sure why that is so
perhaps it is because
when I look out at say, the trees
or perhaps a skyline of gray
maybe even the ocean
even a beautiful garden
I am not there
but instead, in this room.
it makes me think of happier days
spent with the ones I care about
days that were so pleasing
that I wish I was there
just as I wish I were amongst those treetops
or in that vast garden
and not in a plain room
a plain room in my mind...
where I am not with my loved ones
I am not in the happier days.

oh I dunno... maybe the patient in here at one time felt this way. I just thought combining the poem with this picture was really thought provoking.

This brings to mind my time in boot camp a few years back. As a 'modest' girl, the site of these open area type facilities pretty much kept me from having a BM..in fact it was more than 10 days. We had already been issued our uniforms and were pretty much into the routine; I'd finally gotten used to having to constantly wear a head cap outside and to fold and tuck it into the back of my trousers upon entering a building. Anyway.........finally the time had come when I had the urge and the privacy to go to the head to take a much needed crap.....What a relief - I was alone amongst the tens of toilets lined up in there.........I thought I'd never stop- but I did and when I got up to flush - There was my hat......FULL of Shit!!
As you can imagine I almost died of disgust; but in boot camp you learn real fast to deal with it!! Looking back it's pretty funny; and when I see the toilets lined up like this; I can't help but remember boot camp!
BTW: I love this site and the wonderful images you bring to us Motts! Superb! And the regular commentators are both informative and a hoot! Even the ignorant ones!

this is more upsetting than frightening. I agree that it looks more like a look of desparation...

may I say... this is the best gallery yet.

I did another, more intensive tour of the place this spring, have yet to post photos... not sure when I'll be up there again though; thank you for the offer.

damn I wish I could take pictures like that... you dont see that everyday.
