I was there in the 1980's and I was front row for Blue Oyster Cult. Then my car overheated on the way home. Good times. Too bad they closed RP. Now all Rhode Island has left is the Foxy Lady.
I went there the other day 3/22/06 ,i live nearby ,they are saving one of the spires they have it on a pallet fully intact, i was able to drive up the main driveway ,i was in a commercial truck so i blended in,they are saving a lot of the bricks too ,i heard they are only keeping a third of the original building..
People, please note that there are lots of bodies bricked up in the walls here. The dead giveaway is the orb in the bottom left of the picture trying to catch our attention, crying out for release from its hellish prison on earth. Also, please notice the blood stains all over the walls, ceilings, and floor. That is where people tried to get out to avoid being guinea pigs for the mad scientists, but they couldn't get away and just bloodied themselves in the attempt. Later on this site or perhaps on another you'll find all the crematoriums attached to the facilities where the doctors, nurses and other staff burned the signs of their torturous experiments and their wretched state-sponsored abuse, beatings, and neglect while they laughed and turned the flames higher and the water temps lower. http://www.opacity.us/image1929.htm
Well, first they adjusted the weight reduction machine to jiggle the peoples' fat so they could be embarrassed about their weight before they died. http://www.opacity.us/image2761.htm
Lynne, I love it when you put everything into a practical perspective but don't leave out the imagination that might otherwise just deflates the excitement and the creative photss that this site creates.
Lordy, it's a great shot. Retains all the mysteries that you have created, Motts. I like the drug cooling theory, but I prefer to make my own observations. Those observations perhaps a little to bizarre even for this website.
..me again , this is another building similaire to danvers state (RIP) which has currently been torn down , im now on a mission to find as many hospitals and assylums just like it , condemned , old , and beautiful.
