To Billy who was there in the late 40's. I was there in 1952 and was in a ward for girls on the second floor. Were you in the boys; ward on the first floor? This was before they built the Gaebler building. I often wonder what the name of our torture chamber was. Was it the medical building?

its funny, i keep looking for a "like" button lol

I've been to Metro State several times. Now only the main building remains, but when we went to check out the new apartments...we noticed that they had just gutted and added to some of the old buildings. How creepy and horrible is that?

But when it fell, If no one was there to hear it...Did it make a sound?

I've been in the screen printing biz for over 30 years now, done just about every type of garment there is, including panties for "Vicky's"
NEVER seen bras screened before!!
Your chest is mine, sayeth the state! Neat find!

I drove through the condos every day after work this past summer. The Admin building that still stands is literally falling down into its foundation. There were more bricks laying around there every single day. Even the boards covering the windows and doors were crumbling from time and vandals. Even worse, someone took a sledgehammer to the bricks around the cornerstone to get at the time capsule the founder put in the hollow granite block. Who knows what kind of historical treasure was there. There's a huge gaping hole around it. You can look right into the foundation and see the steel and concrete.

this picture is amazing

that floor looks like mooooshhh

so when they demolish these buildings is there asbestos in the air ... like obviously there is ... how long does it take for it to completely be killed by fresh air?
