wouldnt wanna live there

I thought it was the Munsters' back yard, and that was Eddie's sandbox. (LOL)

Wow, thanks for your memories christy, and I'm glad your friend is doing well!

I don't find this scary, but rather, profoundly sad. If ever a buildiing could shed tears, this one surely would. Mr.Motts, your photos are incredibly stunning and also something of an epilogue since the town has now approved development on this property. Shame on their disregard for glorious architecture and history.

you just wish to get out there .....and explore more

your right. they make a loud whoooshing sound and a loud bang.

Hi love your pics. back in 1957 my little friend came down with polio, it was awful, it attacked her whole body she went through horrible pain, she had to live in one of these for almost two years, she had back operations they put rods in her spine to hold her back up, all her muscles were affected. she was just bone no muscles at all. she lived in a top of the head to the bottom of her butt full body cast. You asked what it sounds like when someone is in an iron lung. picture this your right your on your back with your head sticking out and this LOUD humming sound with a LOUD bang from the machine pushing the air into the chamber then another loud bang when the air is leaving the chamber and you have to live with this sound all the time. I asked my friend does it hurt and she say yes very much because this machine is almost making you suck in the air and then making you push it out of your lungs like someone is pushing on your chest. Yes it hurts and it''s like a nighmare that wont stop. to this day my friend still has nightmares of living in that machine, and living with polio. But she is alive, and doing great.

This brings back kool memories of my days at work here, just never took the time to see them in this light.....this is great work

Thanks, nah I've never had the patience to put it up!

WAWAWAWA!!!! One of my favorite episodes. 8`-)

Wanda, I oughts to hug you, 'cept people would assume that restraint was being involved. ;-)

This was the smoking room. No ashtrays were needed. Just flick all the ashes and butts into the puddle

These chairs are in positions, where it looks like there's ghosts sitting in them

"To Serve Man"

Anybody who watches the old 'Twilight Zone' TV show will understand. LOL

I've never heard of anybody getting a flat tire on a wheelchair. Maybe they fixed bicycles too.
