Right there with ya LarryD. Only I had suede leather boots with big 2" heels. Wore patched jeans, had a 69 Dodge Dart Swinger 340. I remained immune to the disco plague. Led Zeppelin, Santana, Pink Floyd, Allman Brothers,etc.. Independent freedom AND the drinking age was 18, that pivotal moment coming soon. Selective Service was officially terminated at this time and many a sigh of relief was heard.

Same as at the Crowbar Hotel. Inmates cannot bar the door, be behind it, no way to hold it closed, etc..

I think the faces seen on the wall might be from using the mesmerizing pipe.

If kept dry inside and weather-tight, a building can hold up ok. Once open to quickly changing temperature and humidity cycles inside, it starts to go. When the roof starts leaking, kiss it goodbye real fast in the scheme of things, and say hello to the invading zombies.

The window treatments and wall coordination is just absolutely stunning. I MUST find out who their decorator is! Is this the room where they ripped everyone's teeth out?

Great picture Motts. It is interesting how when buildings or homes etc are left alone & when all the people are gone how it really just falls a part. In time there will just be nothing left. Kinda reminds me of that program called 'Life without People' very interesting series which I'm sure alot here watched. They showed alot of buildings like this just wasting away.

i want one for my house!!!!

Thanks Mr. Motts. Hi Mama to Five, I was wondering where you were.

OMG Spectratone...you are right. NOW I really have the creeps...thanks for that. :D

Amazing! Would love to go there myself

Another great set youre such a gifted person.

Gremlins were cool, I almost bought a used one once.
Got a 1973 Newport instead.

Looks like the bed's made a track of its own. Probably trying to get out of the wheelchair's way.

Look at the ceiling closely; I see at least six faces in the mold.

Whenever I'm blue and I need you I tune in to your stations and that plays some of the greatest music that ever came up the pike. Power to the people and to you my friend.
