I can see why being skinny (light weight) would be a good thing on these explorations!

"Creeping shadows in an empty door,
Will hear the faltering step no more."

Now I just live for Lynne's photoshops.....

Great pics Lynne. Got my laugh for the day. One technical question: What's the reason for the odd shape of the tub?

So, that's where my apron got to. Your day job is Merry Maids? Wear the apron well, kind sir, and don't forget to moisturize when you are done for the day. Those cleaning chemicals will tear your hands up!

I like it!

I love that they cared enough to paint the boards they put over the windows. I'm always glad to see some kind of covering over the window holes. It helps slow the aging of the inside of the building down a lot.

I wonder if someone who worked there or perhaps even laid the floor down for the first time thought, " you know I bet furns will be growing here 75 years from now."

how strong was the urge to toss a brick?

(For some reason I get upset when someone tosses a brick through a 60 year old pane of glass but a cop car, not so much.)

There are rare occasions in which graffitti is art, when most often it is vulgar.
It's not something that I would condone on a building that is still in use, or one that is a historical landmark that isn't going anywhere, because of preservation work.
But, when it's got a date with the wrecking ball, and it is a tradition then..... It can be fitting.

Speaking of tradition and tags. Mr. Motts, I can't wait to see what treasures you gleaned from MCD in my hometown of Motown.
I used to explore in there often before I moved west, but never had the forethought to take a camera.

It's better they kick around in byberry than in some of the other more pristine places motts has taken photos in.

*~Just stares in amazement at Mr. Motts all dressed up for work~*

As tags go, this one is one of the better ones. At least he took the time to make it look nice, unlike the 2 billion other chicken -cough- scratch* tags that litter the place. If you are going to tag and I would say taggin the berry is ok at this point, might as well do it with style.

Tonio, my dear child, I wasn't going to tell anyone this, and up till now it has been a secret from most people, known only to a few entrusted souls. However, given your phobia of germs, which we in the field feel the need to complicate by renaming "misophobia," I strongly believe you should know the following information. After Mr. Motts has photographed a facility, in many cases not only does he follow the policy of "don't take it - don't break it," on a few occasions he has felt the call of public duty so strongly that he has actually done a little cleaning before he has left.

Mr. Motts, my friend, I am sorry. I hope you can forgive me some day, but I thought our little Antonio needed to know this important information to aid with his "germ issues" - I believe his very mental health may hang on this some day. :-(

Looks like a stiff wind would reduce this place to rubble, I hope someone tries to reclaim it before it falls over.
