Not to bring up a tired subject, but if you were to sell calenders of your work, you might be able to get enough to buy a real nice zoom lens. ;)

"coldness & evil"?

Didn't these places have heaters?

Can y ou grab it from Sir Motts, or Lynne?
Don't wish to broadcast it. Sorry.

OK, ~Me, But I need your address...

Mmmmmm Kay !!!!!!!!!!!

I do! I do!
Logic goes beyond reason!

Please email me as well, Thanks.

Looks similar to the human heart and blood vessels. The hot goes through the system, and returns cold, only to be heated again and head back out.
Not unlike oxygenated blood leaves the heart and returns oxygen depleted only to go round again.
Figure that blood moves at roughly 300 MPH in a single heartbeat. This must have been an awesome system to watch work.

Well, sure, if you want to be logical about it... :D I'll send him an e-mail tonight and let you guys know if I hear anything back from him...

Sketch,
Maybe in his website under requests???

Well, I have two guesses: First, when steam condenses it actually raises the temperature of the surrounding air. By the same method, when water vaporizes it cools the temperature of the air. This could be the method to cool an area, although I don't know how it would work on a large scale.

The other option is that steam is used to run the engines that actually do the cooling. Anyone else know?

Now, I know that it's hard to trust the credibility of those who say they've been there. Now, I can honestly say I haven't been there, although it's right down the road from me. A lot of my close friends have gone in there and it has fucked them up. It's some of the sacriest things I've been close to, and I still have every intention of getting in there.

Now, let me just clear some things up for those who don't seem as interested as I over researching the hospital.

1) It was not shut down because of structural damage. They just tell you that because who's going to believe the real reason? The reason they shut it down was because "supposively" the head of the place was "murdered." He definitely died, but no one knows how. But know the structural damage story is a crock of shit. However, the inside is still falling apart. Stairways are collapsing along with cielings and floors. And more than that, if you mangage to get part the Morgue, make sure you're wearing really good shoes because unless you want tetnus...there are rusty scalpels and scissors and other such sharp things on the floor.

As to the part about taking it down, I drove by there the other day with my boyfriend and asked him what the huge building was because I had never really payed any attention to it. He says to me that it's the hospital. So if they are tearing it down, they haven't succeeded in taking it all down yet. Also, I was looking at the site 1856.org or whatever it is, and other sites dedicated to keeping it open, and I believe you can get petition papers if you're determined enough. I don't think it's to keep the whole Hospital, but at least the Main Building.

Furthermore, asbestos things HAVE been found in NSH so please be careful should you choose to go.

Now, the other day I was having a discussion with one of my best friends and we were talking about how they want to build condos and housing units on that land. I do believe that has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Why would anyone in their right mind, build housing units on the burial grounds of a place where there was unjust murders and torture and suicide?

I want to tell you about the scariest thing that has ever happened that I was close to about that Hospital. A couple years ago, my boyfriend was the sweetest guy in the world. No lie. He was a little crazy and obnoxious but he's a guy. So him and 3 friends decide they're gonna go to NSH. They were there for 4 hours. They lost one of their friends. Finally the cops and state troopers came in after them and they left without their friend. A couple weeks later, in the paper there was an article talking about how the kid they left there was now in a mental institution. Not to long after that, my boyfriend would have these moments where he would black out and become someone totally different and try to kill himself. Finally they put him in a mental institution. He nearly managed to kill himself there too, but was stopped the doctors who had come by to see him. Finally it went away and he's okay now, but he's never quite been the same. One of my friends also told me that just being in there long enough will make people want to kill themselves. It's a scary thing.

Although I have every intention of at least going once, I don't recommend going.

True. This was once a peach orchard. Beyound that (the trail) was once a flower garden. Gladiolas still grew wild until the neighbors dug them up.

All these houses once looked alike too. With the passing of time, they now all look 'lived in' and a bit different from each other. It takes a good 40-50 years for a neighborhood to pick up 'personality'

*scratches her head and looks and Lynne, shurgs, snorts and walks away to go cackle*

They were lost because of smoking? Seriously, though, I would imagine that they were needed somewhere else after this closed down, so they were taken off and moved. Anyone?

Yeah, I read that too, but I wasn't sure how it would fit in with something this old... It has to have been years since a letterpress has been used. If it was him, it would be interesting to get in touch with him and see what he has to say about this! Maybe he could shed some light on this mystery!!!
