Motts do you see many other people in the places you visit? or is this a once off, or are these just you're friends and i'm a gullible little bastard

I was going to say no graffiti anywhere! Then Terry shows up. Very neat though and definitely wasn't out to destroy the place.

I really enjoyed this in contrast to your other gallery photos of the cafeteria. Glad you revisited.

I love this quote from AutumnTwin's link ""This is the first time I have ever heard of an institution, which is usually reviled, being celebrated, and the people who worked there and were treated there being honored," says John Talbott, MD,"

Because that is how I see Motts' galleries. As these buildings being celebrated, and with the input of some very informed posters, those who lived here are also honored.

I KNOW he's trying to get a hold of those damn window cleaners.

I'm guessing it was so that staff could watch the clients eat, especially if the staff ratio was low. Where I worked we had a little kitchen raised above the dining room in the cottages so that we could always make sure the clients would not choke.

Although we ate at the same table as them, it was easier to get a full view of the dining table from being a little higher up.

Yup, a vacuum pump. Even if you do have suction on `tap,' that doesn't mean that the contractors remembered to hook it up in *every* fume hood that you have. Accordingly, these become very nice for facilitating your vacuum distillations, etc.

"Seeing dead people" is not cool. Some of us can see 'spirits' and it is NOT a gift. It is something we have to carry with us our entire lives. You think its fun walking by a gas station to grab some candy and seeing someone that isn't alive fun? Or when walking to the car during the daytime? Its not fun, its not 'kewl'.

However, that does not mean all of us with this 'gift' can't appreciate building like this any less (or more for that matter) than anyone else here. We don't all go to get doped up and/or drunk and spraypaint the walls. We visit these places just like anyone else, to see the beauty that once was-in the walls and fixtures, in what man has made.

Then again, I'm also the type that will stay the farthest away from tarot cards or ouija boards as well.

Very appropriate for this gallery, Bri.

Well ... we're off to bed, Lyric & I. Don't forget there is an extention to Mr. Mott's commentaries over at:

Hope to see you all there ... soon ... and help take a bite out of Mr. Mott's post scanning duties. ;-)

I can use my biggest socket wrench on this. I keep it in a garage all its own. I would have to cheat on these and use a little WD40.

Doesn't it fit? I think so! I love Beaches and I love, love, love, love Bette Midler more!

DING DING DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEEE HAAVVEE A WINNNNNEEERRR!

What Lyric said. Song's called "Oh, Industry."

Thank you for another great trip Motts! Once again, I enjoyed every minute of it. Take care and stay safe!!

That is an awesome find Motts!
