Motts is right, being in the demolition field i meet plenty of homeless people and most of them are nice.

We Would Out Run Those Cops Any Day

I think it is an anaesthetic trolley used in an operating theatre, the regulators on the side would have cylinders of anaesthetic gas and oxygen attatched and on top is a suction unit.

Well, what a wonderful journey this has been!
When my dad still had his boat, every few years we'd make a round-trip around Staten Island, and I ALWAYS thought the Island's most fascinating side was the Arthur Kill & Kill Van Kull. There's stuff back there that can ONLY be seen from a boat. Exploring it in a kayak must be even better - cause when you're in a 30 ft power boat, you just don't dare to get in nice & close. So, I recommend to anyone who finds these photos interesting, to find someone with a boat & take a ride on "the other side". Most people are only familiar with the Raritan Bay side, with it's beaches & nice homes. Trust me - you won't regret a tour of the Arthur Kill. And you might even get some free "Cheap thrills" if a tug passes & throws a big wake at you! Yee-haw! Happy sailing.

hey motts ...strange ... i was just in that room about 20 mins ago wondering the same thing everyone else is..but i got to get up close...very creepy.. I am part of a certain association in the Town Of Foxboro and I grew up there. Today was the first time I'd ever been inside and it was nothing short of facinating. Love the site!

That Lawn Look's Like It Needs Mowing ha ha ha haa

These originally appeared to be patient rooms, but they could've been renovated for any type of use later on in the hospital's life. The asylum was built in the late 1800's so many things are later additions including lights.

Here's another (shorter) poem:

Just my luck
I lie in the muck
I wouldn't be here
If I'd been born a truck.

:) Just a little competition for Mike.

No it looked like the dies were removed.

Shawn, burglary is a felony, and tacked onto multiple counts of criminal trespass and possibly breaking & entering, you could wind up with some jail time.

Big dark fingers over the old lady's mouth, stifling a major scream. Or maybe it's a queen with its pointy crowns.

I'm amazed that this tug was built over 100 years ago! I had no idea they were that old. And to think she offered over 1/2 century of service before being laid to rest with her buddies. That's a good, long useful life for a working vessel.

Northampton's Kirkbride plan was altered majorly throughout the years with additions to the wing tips as well as towards the back of the building, I believe this ward was one of the latter.

I've met a number of homeless inside abandonments in some very bad neighborhoods, they have all been relatively nice and even talkative. Spare a few bucks and be courteous in their home if you want to avoid problems.

Thiells isn't exactly an inner city, I've never seen or heard of homeless inside either...

Thank you, it's often difficult to remember small details but each trip is a memorable experience. Sometimes I move garbage out of the shot if I can, like beer bottles and the like.
