Probably - in most stacks, you can either get in from the bottom, or go to the top and go down a ladder inside. There's gotta be a way for service people to get in there if they need to do maintenance.

Wow...I made the comment kind of sarcastically in another section that i'd worry about coons more than people. They're disgusting animals - crap everywhere, and dangerous to be around. They look fuzzy and interesting, but their fur is better off on a coat than alive and in a room with you.

Wow, screws with the mind much?

The windows are somehow the freakiest part from the outside. I went there today with a cupole of buddie, about 5:30-6pm.

Heh, to bad someone didnt carve their names into that exact matt.

This is just insane.

Would be quite interesting to take a tour in there.

The lines on these Kirkbride buildings are just stunning. I didn't even know we had one out here (Dixmont) until I saw in the paper that they were blowing out rock and accidentally closed the highway by blowing up the hillside where Dixmont was with "too much explosive" - right out on the highway - closed for a day :-)

I wish I would've known about this stuff earlier.

Man, such a view.

Give me a surefire light and a .45 auto, and I'll go through there no problem. I'd go without the .45, even. I'd be more worried about a rat or a raccoon in there than I would anything else - that's what the .45 would be for.

Those are some really nice doors. I would LOVE to have them somewhere on my property - even if they were just on a detached garage or something. I'll bet they have a nice heft to them when you swing them.

Yeah ........... it's like rain ran down them for years and stained them. Just like every other building - including the brick-work and roof on my house.

Lynne - that was a nice story - and I'm not surprised that your compadres do the same thing. My mother was a tough teacher (she tought SED kids (socially and emotionally disturbed)), and she was always doing the same thing - raiding dollar stores to find things she thought her kids would like. When the kids would do things well, they would get "room bucks", and they could spend those "room bucks" on anything in her classroom that wasn't school owned.

She's retired now, and I'm afraid that a lot of the teachers that have followed her are just the tough part without the heart. She made a lot of difference in a lot of kids' lives - who were on the edge of going to special ed or youth homes because of their behavior.

Damn was she ever hard on me, though.

JANICE, IVE BEEN MR. UPPER CAPS SINCE DAY ONE OF MY DISCOVERY OF "OPACITY" AND IM GLAD SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS "THRIFTIE'S". LYNNE, I AM NOT A FEMALE, IM A MALE, OH AND ALSO JANICE WHAT THE HECK DO YOU MEAN IN YOUR COMMENT JUST ABOVE THIS ONE?

Danielle thanks your right we are all fighting over the same thing and i understand there are good people and bad people in this world...

lynne thanks for using some effort in your writing even tho they may be rants to show me that we are all fighting over the same thing...

So I was wondering...Have any of you been to the main Pennhurst page and read the quote? You should click on the link and read this man Ronald's story. Its really sad.
