I just wish that when people posted comments, they would take the time to use "spell check", a Thesaurus and proper grammar. I feel like I'm reading things an illiterate eight year old would have written.
My, my, my, how the mind can slip to such lows! But indeed they do have certain phallic qualities. No doubt the designer probably had some psychological issues regarding,ahem... genitalia.
I also worked in the Bonner Bldg , I was there for almost 3 yrs. I remember when I started there I worked the over night shift , if I needed a snack or cigarettes, I had to go to the vending machines in the basement .. well to my left were the doors' to the tunnel and let me tell you at 2 in the morning , I would stand there getting what I needed and the whole time the hair on th eback of neck would stand straight up! I stopped being afraid after about 6 months .
Security took myself and another female staff member for a tour of the Kirkbride one evening on our dinner break.
Everything was fine til we entered the kitchen area , all of a sudden there was a blood curdling scream and the 2 security office ran from the building BEFORE my colleague and I got out.
I have never forgotten that sound. Like Mary I have many stories from my time there. I saw some terrible things but I also remember all the good we did.
these builings are quietly beautiful. but tho empty, something is still there. whether its the total absence of sound or abandonment, the neglect, or rememberances of who used to be her I find it beautiful but eerie and slightly unsettling. Excellent photos though.
Lynne, I finally figured it out; they only want to read the comments they like, and think the ones they don't like should be removed. Now, what to do with a post like the one immediately preceding me? It references the orientation of one of our members, and could be taken as derogitory (although it is not, in itself, a negative comment). Should it be removed because I don't want to read it?
Pa Backy, you GOTTA check out some of the old cars in there.....
