The building looks to be in pretty good condition inside (as someone else already said).

Ultraviolet and Darlene, I agree - and leaving the names is certainly not confidential. I wonder why there was no glass window to separate the nurses' station from the hallway.?

Darlene, well said. I agree.

That's a good idea - that mirror really works well.

Looks like maximum security. Why is there a strip of green carpet only in front of that door?

I love this imaginative shot with photo taken through the shattered window! Thanks Iceberg for identifying the roof area as a recreation area, I thought the roof was missing for some reason.

Mica says it the best - thanks for a new gallery!! How wonderful. I also love how you (Mr. Motts) write the introductions to the galleries and to the pages - you should write a book!!

Well....of all the things I did NOT expect to be in there. Wow. That would be a definite plus if I were stuck in that place, I'd bowl all the darn time.

How did one access those bleachers?

Can't help but snicker at the graffiti on the shallow end of the pool wall, juvenile as it is.

This is one of the reasons I advise people to stay away from windows while urbexing and not take too long with camera shots looking out. Even if you're so disguised that a Marine sniper couldn't spot you with their eyes a thermal cam can see you as clear as day.

Oh, and if you think you're being followed Motts a friend of mine advises that a nifty field trick is to put buckets of (nonpolluted) water over doors like a prankster if you have nothing else handy or full of something that will make lots of noise but not hurt whoever it falls on if the only water around is a health hazard. That, or a chair/table propped against the door just at the point where it will tip over if the door's opened. In either case the worst that will happen to the victim is a little bath or needing a change of underwear while you get a timely warning.

Heh. reminds me of my high school; my sophmore year the gym got water damaged so bad that gym class was cancelled the entire year, we literally did nothing but sit in a portable and watch movies.

Part of the heating system. Look just under the seat and there's a sizable pipe opening, plus being around the radiators along the wall, though exactly WHAT part has me stumped.

ACK! Don't scare us like that, Motts!

Motts, giving us poor Internet dwellers the best Christmas presents ever! (love the 'guppy' graffiti on the door)
