yet another beautiful old building with much character to be torn down to make way for latte sipping yuppies (I assume)????

I just drove by the place the other day and was disappointed to see half of it gone. What a shame.

If the hospital ceased most of its operations in 1976, it seems strange that a book published in 1980 would be laying around

LIKE DSIA

sometimes cops are even MORE
stupid than they are portrayed to be
on television....most are just as
Rule Krazy....

Everything is absolutely spotless. It looks like the place is still in use. Crazy stuff.

I love how you were hiding out on the roof, looking down at the cruiser, and the sucker inside of it had absolutely no idea. Nice work. :)

Pretty pink curtains! They don't do much for the green walls, but it's nice that everything is still so clean looking and intact. And no boards on the window? That's something nice to see, too.

This made me laugh. I have nothing against mentally retarded/challenged/disabled people at all, and I don't want to sound cruel, but the title of this book just tickled my funny bone.

For such a classic and informative text on the subject of mental retardation (this information, by the way, is courtesy of one of Lynne's above comments), I can't believe that they would use such a politically incorrect title. And if the book is in fact still in print, I do hope they've re-named it. Something like that could offend a great deal of people that do suffer from mental retardation. And those who don't might just think the book's a big joke, with a title like that.

It's very stark and naked.

That is one mean looking door.

The primary colors make me think of chilren. You know how hospitals and the like always try to use cartoon character paintings and bright colors to add some cheer to the childrens' wings. Perhaps this wing was for children? I don't know anything about Foxboro, so maybe I'm wrong entirely. It's just a guess.

Off hand I'd say lamp in a tub.
