Sector 7G is where Homer Simpson works in the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.

Yes Ed sounds like a name for a giallo which is an Italian slasher type horror movie.

There's definitely not a lack of materials to build something like this. And that doesn't have anything to do with the economy. Hospitals aren't built like this today because its much more inexpensive to make it simple.

Think about the upkeep on this place. It probably wasn't budgeted to fix some of this stuff

Magnificent.

pollo,

Ha! We were just discussing that very thing at work this week because there is a gentleman who uses a wheelchair who sometimes unintentionally runs into other folks who live here. He truly has no concept that he can hurt them and they can't get the concept that they cannot co-exist in the same space as another person, so people get tangled up and we have the occasional injury. The whole process occurs at such a slow pace that you would think it could be caught, but that's why it's tough to see - it goes TOO slowly. Someone is tangled up all of the sudden and down they go. We discussed getting a "back up" beeping device like trucks have and attach it to his chair when he backs up because that's when he is more likely to nail people. When we thought it through, however, we realized that the increased noise level would make everyone's life intolerable and probably increase the number of accidents due to stress alone. I wish we had a sensor that made a low sound every time he's within a foot of someone, however. That way staff could be alerted and keep an eye on the interactions before someone gets knocked down. :-(

Wow...great Photography...i really like all the photos on this page..but this onw caught my eye

Mt. Vesuvius is what looks like a bridge in the background and which actually held a 65 foot slide.
The boat known as Little Toot would ride people around and through that tunnel in the mountain.
Willie was located at a pond in the EF. Willie the whale would laugh. A light would go on and behind the mesh screen in his mouth you could see the fisherman Jonah sitting on a raft.
Jonah has long since disappeared whereabouts unknown like all the other EF figures! : (

I was with jen on this one, interpretation-wise, until I read the subsequent submissions. I suffered from depression for years, and the picture has a kind of bleak darkness to it which was uncomfortably familiar. It does have the positive aspect that some/most of the black sheep are escaping... that's much less familiar. Maybe the blackness of the sheep wasn't a reflection of guilt after all. Good picture though!

Mr Motts, thanks for your well-written, as well as magnificently photographed site, by the way. A rare combination on the Internet.

TWINKIESTWINKIES t.w.i.n.k.i.e.s.

golly gee, not twinks, oh boy!

(oh me, oh my, i pulled a ~me!)

; )

Is that a light fixture?

yes, yes, of course, very good.... the canisters of whipped cream! not only is it fun to play in, but, let's face it, we needed something phallic. a perfect choice, ~me!

and let's not forget the boxes of twinks.

As a "youth" i explored all the buildings on the old side, some have connecting tunnels.

Curious turbine assembly. II would think it would be way too small for a main power generator - perhaps an auxiliary pump? Looks too large for that. Maybe it's just way smaller than I thought it would be...

I was a marine engineer, and I know a lot about how dangerous these things can be. In 1989 an explosion caused by a fuel leak killed 4 friends of mine :(

However, I am still to this day in awe of power plant equipment - even after having built, rebuilt, and operated them for 10 years

BRAAAAAINS...........
