I wonder if it still works. I was 192, the last time I was weighed. LOL

Fantastic shot! It looks like the devil himself punched in the top of the knewel post.

What I said may have been taken a bit out of context. I don't want to see these buildings torn down and replaced with something else. I'ld like to see them restored and used as something else. Sitting as they are now, they will eventually fall apart and come crumbling down.

I would scoop up a handful and take them. I've did this with several abandoned buildings I've been in.
Lots of interesting reading.

Most of the time, I couldn't see the carpet for the smoke. Great memories of things above the carpet though.

Oh, I'm sure there's tons of stuff buried around these buildings. Maybe even a body or two (yipes!)

The woods I'm digging in has sentimental value, as I've spent a good chunk of my life back there. The dump seems to have started in the 30's and followed the banks of the stream until it was out to the street. That's when it was closed. In July '63. I can't dig in the 'newer section' as there's homes there now, but the older (30's, 40's) is still available. That's where I do most of my digging.

Veery good! I've been waiting for a new gallery! I must say you could do this for a living!! Keep up.

the light thru the window casts a erie shade on the porcelain.

The wheelchair girl I barely saw, as in, 'you are stuck here, barely a visible human in your wheelchair, while healthy children march on by, their backs to her' So creepy...

is that like "Return of the King'?

I second researcher here. I find it disrespectful not only to the current owner of the property, but also to the many that lived and worked here, and to the building itself. It is said, "Let sleeping dogs lie." I am not saying there aren't exceptions however, such as in the case of Radical Ed's buttons. There was a mass quantity of them lying about, and it certainly didn't deplete the stock. Of course, if everyone took a few they would eventually be gone, but Radical Ed spends so much time there he should be able to take something like that. Taking a chair or something would be going too far.

Cool stuff Puddleboy. If you ever get tired of "The Trail", these old state hospitals usually have tons of bottles and vintage equipment buried in the woods around the buildings... the older the hospital, the better!

Yes it is . there is security and police that do patrol checks.

Get a grip..."desecration"? It's not a temple. It's not even a hospital anymore. It's just a bunch of old buildings that are about to be torn down anyway.
