I did. The text just looks so out of proportion, and if that is a normal-height door, high too.

"...........the old rust white and blue."

Sorry ladies & mates, but I've simply GOT to reply to Keith's use of the term "retard" & his assertion that a good portion of "them" actually "choose to be that way"...
What a silly load of rubbish!
While there are,of course, many who become intellectually disabled as the result of accidents ( some of whom probably WERE at fault due to some form of negligence ), using these unfortunates as an excuse to rationalize the continued use of an offensive term is quite ignorant.
While the word "retard" was,indeed, legitimate medical terminology for those with such disabilities, it has become an insensitive, offensive one now due to it's misuse.
Language is NOT a static thing. It constantly evolves & ( as an earlier post's author so astutely pointed out ) just as one no longer ( or shouldn't anyhow... ) uses certain racial descriptions that were once considered the norm, but which are now inappropriate & offensive ( ie "coloured" for those of African decent or "oriental" for those of Asian ), it is simply rude to continue to describe those born with developmental & mental - learning disabilities as "retards".

so which room did you two hop into??

Ah, but Max, what about the staff?
A good portion of it must have been male... LOL

Of course, they'd have had to have been REALLY inventive with their excuses as to why they were always standing around in the hallways on top of stools in the middle of the night.

I'm with Silkster on this one, I'll bet the real fun was going on inside the room.

Motts, I really hope you are talking to a publisher about a book.

i live right by this place, in fact there is NO ELECTRICITY runing to the shut down parts of the school, i went in there with a group of friends and it was mid summer 80 degrees outside and around 30 degrees inside, we went in all of our cell phoens died and the first floor was flooded on the side we entered when we were scared shitless we left and the water moved from one side to the other, 13 people were arrested that night

WOW that is amazing! Fluorascopes were really the precurser to x-rays. They actually operated more like a tv. You would stand behind it and a machine generated x rays though you to the screen. More xray energy than someone would see in a hundred lifetimes today. Talk about exposure. Its no wonder people didn't glow afterwards

If you notice the Pittsburg safe company was before Pittsburgh had a H on the end of it. early 1900's

You can hear the BOOOOM! as they punched the metal into fenders

Who is Ray, and why is he in room 22 ?

My whole family is from Philly, and I was born there. We now reside in Canton, a small town in NE PA. finally go the chance to go *past* Byberry this winter while visiting some relatives. I'd very much like to see the exterior of the buildings close up, which finally brings me to my question: Will security stop you if you're on the grounds looking around? Or do they only stop you when you're *inside* the buildings?
