This is great. Just a punch of color.

padded rooms are made of rubber..sad to say they are necessary dute to the fact that their is a lot of people out their that do try to hurt them self.. even though the rubber is a little hard it does help..

So may of these places have abandoned theaters and it just seems to me like so much wasted potential. If one of these was around me I would do everything in my power to turn it into a concert venue. Thats what they do with most of the old theaters around me.

ChicagoTom, I know the feeling. I've spent ten hours over the last three days since I found this site. Motts' work is superb, both in the search, infiltration, photography, and web site design.

Looks like a Hammond C3 organ to me.....I wonder if there was a Leslie speaker kicking around near it?

Oh man. I got naked once behind this building because it was pouring rain and I wanted roof shots, and I had to change. So many memories..

the firts part is written by someone else, you can tell by the way the 'A' is written on the lines. But thats not really that important.

I dont understand how they could have had THAT picture of a clow in a PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL. Its just too crppy for me, but that said people used to have different views of clowns. *shudder*

I dont think this chair is that lonely, it seems to have friends made of papre all around it. =]

I love this site. This is my first time here and I have been browsing for 3 hours straight! My neck hurts, my eyes are burning, and I can't stop.

its become a sort of cliche to say clowns are evil and scary. I think this one is quite pleasant and peaceful, it might have even made a patient smile.

its very nicely drawn not like some of the other more messed up drawings in other mental hospitals in this site.

Yuck! *Gagged*

Could be an inside joke. Reminds me of the notes I'd write to a friend when we parted for the summer. Taken out of context, they'd be misunderstood.

That particular one's not scary, but it looks too glurgy with the butterflies and the smiling girl. It's like trying to force someone to be happy when they don't want to smile.
