getting closer to being 1st :)
thank you mr motts

I wonder what would happen if one were to plug 'er in, and fire 'er up?

Wow. December, 1974, I was a senior in high school. Ford was president, disco was hot, pale blue polyester clothes & platform shoes were cool, and hair was huge. Hot cars were the Pacer, the Pinto, and the Granada. Nixon resigned just 4 months prior and the Vietnam War was winding down. And to think, this was here at that time. Great shot.

Fantastic Mr Motts.
Another fabulous set!

Rust dripping off the light onto the floor.

Peaceful looking.

Thanks for the wallpaper!

Cool find. Anything in them?

Wheels are all rusted but it looks like the tires are intact.

Spectacular shot. My God, that's incredible. How many sunrises and sunsets as this space seen over the decades?

I would really hate to be exploring a building and get locked in some room in the middle of nowhere. Mr. Motts, have you ever found yourself in a building and was forced to use some "creative problem solving" to find your way out?

They sure are Bob! Love all the colors.

And the tiles will hang on tight to the walls forever. They still shine!

You can barely make out the tile. It must have been beautiful at one time.

The floor looks like it could move on its own. Quite an impressive growth of mold.

Oooo, open roof not good. When the outside elements come inside, the destruction hits high gear.
