Sorry Motts,
In my ranting I forgot to mention that this is one awesome photo. It is hard to imagine so many seats were needed, that that were that many people. I am also surprised to learn the patients were even offered this level of entertainment.

sad, it almost looks like a balcony from Romeo & Juliet

It's nice to remember this old girl. She was mighty proud and pretty when she sailed. She had a long life, too. Still, it's sad that she's just sitting there, rotting away.......

Seeing what appears to be mold on the floor reminds me of the problems that a maintainence worker had at a local hospital. He went into the crawl space above the ceiling to do some work, inadvertantly breathed some mold particles and became very ill. It nearly killed him and he is disabled to this day because of it. I remember him having terrible breathing problems. So people beware, asbestos and lead are not the only harmful substances floating the halls of these rotting buildings. As uncool as it may be------ a respirator could save your life here.

I'd hate to see my boat end up like this. Extremely sad, but a good shot nonetheless.

The wonder and enjoyment of these photos comes from imagining (and sometimes researching) the vibrant history of these vessels, which these photos capture so eloquently, so perfectly, I can picture myself standing on their decks when they sailed.

She looks kinda like she ends abruptly further aft. Was she broken in two?

I was also born in Rochester and lived in Greece 11 years before I moved to Nashville, TN and I didnt even know there was a subway till after I moved down here. I would love to move back up there

The roof's already gone. It appears to have rotted off.

I was here on monday and the same thing happened. I was atop N-10 when all of the sudden a pig chopper fell out of the sky and circled the building about four times. I knew the cops had infared so I got out of N-10 and into the underground traffic tunnel, then it went away.

I am 55 and went to this park as a 12 year old with my 10 year old cousin (I think these dates are close). I was shocked when I saw it for the first time after so many years in 1997, with the sign still up and the strip mall next to it. I remember the parking lot in front of the sign being all dirt and very large. I thought of it as a place for younger children and yet still enjoyed myself. I am thankful to the owners of Clark Farm for any restoration they are able to do which will save a piece of my late childhood.

the hallways leading to maintenance and one of them leading to the infirmary...

JUST THINK ABOUT IT, SPOOKY!!!!!!!!!!!!

"There will be rest,
and sure stars shining.
Over the roof-tops crowned with snow,
A reigned of rest,
Serene forgetting,
The music, the music, the music of stillness holy and low.
I will make this world of my devising.
Out of a dream in my lonely mind,
I will find a crystal of peace above me.
Stars I shall find."

This photo make me whip out some of my sheet music...beautiful piece to go with this beautiful gallery. The above poem is by Sara Teasdale and the composer for the song I am now singing is David Dickau...it's a beautiful choral piece...listen to it if you ever get the chance...Beautiful!

Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing shot! That's all I can say...I'm speechless! Beautiful!
