Yuppie larva and spooky trench coat kids almost too funny!

If ever I name a band it would be that.

No on Keeping score, I meant.

Reminds me of that scene from Ferenheit 451 where they are burning all the books....

The graffiti in here has been pretty bad since the first time I went in around 97...

As I recall this picture was the result of a "who can put their name in the most places"game. The yuppie larva were chased off by "spooky trench coat kids" shortly after ;)

Uh, York still makes AC units.

That second door goes to a fenced in porch.

Michele...wise ass punks? Goths? DAMN YOU. Open your goddamn eyes. This place needs to be opened as a historical site. Those bastards at Avalon Bay Communities are trying to buy it out, to build condos and aptmts in the EXISTING BUILDINGS. Talk about haunted. They even offered to give discounted places to the mentally challenged in the community. So, here are your three choices:
1) Stays as is. Those thrill seekers go bustin through your yard, in an attempt to visit the most haunted place in America.
2) Avalon Bay Comm. buys it all, creates living spaces haunted not only by the lunatics that were trapped there but also the salem witches, that they won't even get any residents due to the spook factor!
3) Davers Preservation Fund Inc. gets what is needed to restore the grounds and open the hospital to the public. So much history has yet to be unveiled there and so many things are yet to be discovered. I, for one, would love to go visit. AND if this goes through, you won't have to worry about your precious lawn getting, god forbid, walked on by "goths."

As far as an update, Danvers Preservation Inc. has achieved a temporary hold on the sale of the premises as of 10/20/05. Check it out for yourself. http://www.danversstateinsaneasylum.com

Ain't that the truth.

No one scoring here.

OH ME, OH MY! THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST PRETTIEST SOAP DISPENSER I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE LAYING EYES ON!

I certainly wouldn't lean too hard on that sink. You might not only bring down the sink but the wall as well.

anyone know anything about the old Mt Wilson Hospital (another branch of the Maryland Tuberculosis Hospital, located in the Pikeville/Garrison area) I worked on the grounds after it closed and before it was turned into a retirement home, but I never saw the inside or learned much about its history.

The trees roots look like a giant claw, grabbing the tunnel, and threatning to crush it...

Do I see Yoda in there?

what is even cooler is that tb isn't common anymore and most of us don't know what most of this stuff is or was used for. Thank God for penicillin and tb testing for people and cattle. No longer do we have to worry about our kid's milk carrying a deadly pathogen or the person next to us coughing on us and putting us in a place like this one.
