This also makes me think of a school for some reason...those doors remind me of the entrance to the cafeteria and down that hallway would be lockers and classrooms.

I wonder why this is so free of graffitti when it really does look like it would be easy to get into this place. Hmmmm...anyone wanna call TAPS? (That was sarcastic lol.)

My first thought was that this looks just like a school hallway...except for the gurney on the floor. It is cool when you see something that is older than you are--thanks to LarryD, who filled us in on the year and make of the gurney! I love the color and the glazed bricks. It SO makes me miss elementary school...

Hmmm....at least you would have someone to sing a duet with as you wash those posky hard-to-reach places. :D
