Does anyone know if the tunnels are still accessible today? Just curious?

Do you have any pictures from the other auditoriums? I knew of one, taken from the front, like this, but no one was in the back, only darkness, but with a misty cloud in the entrance way. When a magnifying glass was taken to the photo, in that mist was a lot of faces.. . Spooky!

Thanks Biff; the morgue was pretty trashed by the time I visited, I don't think there was any way to make it look any better! I took some photos of it during previous visits:

If you don't mind me asking why didn't you take any pictures from the morgue? i remember when we first started going in byberry the morgue we had a thing to hop in the droor and shut it...That was before we realized it's just an old decaying building at night and with random people around it can be creepy at first. we were trying to get bugged out but it wasn't happening haha. With your skill you coulda made that morgue look amazing and You are a talented Photographer, love B&W and most of these are Black and white it has Sooo much more depth to it.

There is a picture somewhere from way back i think i was in 8th grade when i saw it, of the bottle room, it was just HUNDREDS of rx bottles from when it was open. I think it may be on GodDogs page. Really good picture. This is also another very good picture.

The thing that gets me is ART is ART i know i already said it, but even if it's someone drawling People with Red Dicks or Demon Creatures or whatever, It's Art Regardless. Sorry i just can't get over the blast of people coming at an artist. Especially when ya think about it, almost everything around you is art. Open-mindedness is obviously a trait not as common as i thought. Open your mind to something you dont completely understand, it may just change your life. christ i sound like a preacher.

ART is ART whether is one canvas,Music tattoo's, Graf, Blood smeared with a stick... It's an abandoned building i really doubt anyone was thinking about the HISTORY of it while doing so. Graffiti on public things i don't see a problem honestly, it's apart of the neighborhoods HISTORY. So i dont understand all the hating on it especially if anyone saying it is an artist themselves, if you don't understand ART is whatever the persons feelings put down is ART. Funny i can see a couple friends up there. Awesome Picture by the way which is ART.

Radical Ed is dead on... ( about this area and what it's deal was)
