again you are to be congratulated on your excellent photos

Except the fact they might not be so polite about it.

Hey, Chey, you also might have to clean up some water and fire damage. The old girl was on fire this morning. Amanda's Mom told us.

it gives me the chills

this ic cool stof andlooks like the sealing is going to fall down in 1second.

Cleaned up, in a nicer neighborhood, in a not-so-creepy-house, with a little more paint and a little less cold - it might make a nice bedroom. ^_^

I took this picture into photoshop, to change the hue on the leaves, to get a positive I D on them. Sure looks like swamp sumac to me. They grow everywhere around here. They grow very quickly and one plant will send up several 'sucker shoots' so you have a whole forest of them in a few years.
They do have an odor when cut down or pruned.
I've never heard of them being referred to as locust trees (I should go into Google and look all this up, but time forbids this right now) Possibly another plant that is known by different names in different parts of the world.

All sumac trees are shallow rooted, and knock down real easy. I rid the trail of the poisonous variety simply by giving them a karate chop with my foot.

My father worked in the OT unit...which used to be some sort of cafeteria or something? Not sure. Anyhow...he didn't really have an office, he worked in a nursing station cage at the end of the hallway. Because of the nature of his work, he was often working late hours at night...and he talked about how creepy it was even then. He's not one to believe in the paranormal, but he used to talk about all these feelings he'd get and the things he heard. For example, his "office" was at the end of a really long hallway. He heard footsteps coming up to him like mens shoes on tile. But when he turned around, the footsteps stopped, and no one was there. To this day, he still claims it wasn't a "haunting" per-se, but just the building playing tricks on his mind.

My mother, unfortunately, has passed on, so I can't relate any stories about her experiences. I know that she used to work in the minimum security womens building. When she was pregnant with my older brother, she took some of her patiences out for a walk. One of her patients apparently jumped on the railroad tracks (I think this was in a subway) trying to find the third rail and get electricuted. My mother claims she got into psychology because she always thought she might be crazy. After some of her patients, she reasurred herself that she was quite sane.

I'll try to get more info out of my father for you. I'm trying to get him to go down there with me one day. Maybe find his old office.

I sure don't wanna be even near that ship at this time....

WOW!!! and all that rust goes in the sea??? it's sad to see the world as it is today :(( :((

Too bad for the ship... I think it looked nice...someday

Kind of diffrent to see boats I think.

I must say that this place seemed to like to give the people privecy unlike alot of the other places.

Here is what is on the news website. http://www.thepittsbur.../5266625/detail.html

It sure isn't much yet. You can see the fire burning through the roof on the tv report. I find it upsetting too. Glad Motts got to take the photos before this!

Oh, no! I know they're going to tear it down, but that is still upsetting!
