Thank you for this site. I attended Bennett College and loved the character of the environment (especially since I hailed from the midwest). It appears to be the sad end of a unique structure.
Come by when you can Lynne.. I wasn't sure if it would catch on or not.
Either I will be around or Serrena. I really don't care who opens it up.
It's for everyone to use.
I would, but I am popping back and forth to the computer as I do my monthly data analysis for the place I work. Coming here is my reinforcer for working for a predetermined amount of time. :-)
Thanks for the visual Lyric. I think I like the look of the older tables better. The older tables look like they were more purposeful? This just looks like an air hockey table with lower sides and larger holes. I'm sure functionally they are far superior.
If laying in a mourge freezer creeps you out, WHY, did you lay in them. It id disrespectful to the dead anyways to pretend you are. Also, do you expect there to be heaters and lights in the freezer? Oh you know the dead bodies must be kept warm and the light allows them to read.
Surprisingly enough they are only just wider than the average human. Think the size of a twin sized bed, but a bit longer for plumbing and sinks.
Most have holes like this one, or they have gutters in the sides of the table, with smoothe steel under the body.
We had a coat factory here that closed about 1960. By the mid 90's when it was torn down, it had trees growing in it.(swamp sumacs) I explored some of the ground floor in the 80's but didn't venture past the part where the roof caved in.
It's now a vacent lot. I've seen kids playing ball on it. Too young to know what was once there.
And you can't bust the boards by throwing rocks at them, but there is a downside. You can't see through boarded up windows. I was walking around an abandoned gas station a few months back. All locked up but there was some broken windows. I looked in to see there was a car in the service bay!!! I got a couple pictures of it. (LOL)
