'all the worlds a stage.....'

... and the people moronic, ingrates that vandalize, burn and - generally speaking - should be shot.

This looks like a sealion with feathers.

Blood Type X? What in the world?

I have the same shade of blue color in my room it's quite nice.

Housework was baddass back then. I bet our grannies would mow us down in a fight.

The paint peels look like a mosaic here.

If you see closed reels of film you may want to let someone know. Cellulose film will fall apart after a while and there is a lot of stuff that has been lost over the years due to lack of conservation :/

I love this photo. the colors are spectacular. This is one of those shots where blown up big you get the feeling you could just walk right in. I say Wallpaper for this!! :)

One thing I really love at this site is all the info about those old machines, thanks a lot for the link, Gulliver! I´m very into old machines.

The crooked remains of the chairs look like cockroaches.... well, big cockroaches^^

My fiancee works at a candy store and around halloween they were selling a liquid candy in bags like this.

Claire, See that symbol right in the middle of the bag? That means bio-hazard sweetheart. Some people do need to brush up on their High School Biology.

This strikes me as more of a "salmon" pink than a "Pepto" pink.

They had some wildly vivid colors in this place, back in the day.

Makes you wonder what the last film ever spooled about those reels was.

Thanks for documenting this. It continues to amaze me at what is just left behind to go to ruin!

Amazing how these machines used to be so huge back then and nowadays 30 of them can probably fit that room...
