Beautiful equipment! One of my first jobs was in a hospital kitchen; preparing plates, dishwashing, etc. We had a number of mixers & cookers that looked just like these.

It is indeed beautiful, I love that "just left" appearance that is too often destroyed by mindless graffiti.

All this talk of soup, pudding & fat makes me hungry...

I concur with the above concurring, this is a great shot!

Today is the ten year anniversary of my Mother's death.
If I Iived there, I would go in and climb these stairs one last time, making sure that I use this railing so I don't fall. Tie a red rose to this railing with red ribbons in memory of her. Then probably sit down in this enchanted stairway and have a good cry.
It's hard when there are certain people, and things that we have such a strong emotional attachment to, are suddenly taken from us.
What the eyes can no longer see, the heart still feels.
That is why photos like this are so precious to us.
I miss and love you, Mom. : )
(Thanks, Motts.)

Where's Mr Frump? 8^]

My father's a retired Philadelphia Firefighter (30 years). He was called to Byberry literally dozens of times to put out fires there. Kids are constantly setting fires there almost weekly. Luckily, there's nothing left to burn and the buildings are mostly steel and concrete. There's scars from fire on every floor of just about every building.

The bottles are all a dark brown, mostly glass, with white plastic lids. There's also a plethora of brown plastic bottles but the majority are all glass. There's still quite a few unbroken bottles left. They're rather easy to procure.

You can still see metal placards that very closely resemble these on telephone poles every once in a while. The electric company must have had a machine to make them.
