Great pano! I never saw this!!! It feels like I'm in the tower right now.

The reason Danvers was lost was due to a number of reasons, high real estate values in the area, the litigious state of MA due to greedy lawyers and the fact that Danvers was an attractive nuisance for which DCAM was responsible, behind the scenes collusion between the Danvers politicians and Avalon Bay, (bribing, etc...) and the false "need" for affordable housing in Massachusetts, since it seems most of the people that move into these places aren't even from this state, so we shouldn't need it in the first place. Chapter 40B people...look it up....

"That...and the budget cuts...and POOF..."

As for the witch business, that DID all happen around Hathorne Hill and Danvers, nothing really happened in Salem. Danvers didn't want the notoriety associated with what happened, so Salem took and profited from it. The "Witchcraft Heights" area is more of a marketing thing concocted when they built that neighborhood I believe.
Nathaniel Hawthorne's surname spelling was changed to that from "Hathorne" to distance his family from the judge who presided over the trials, who was his great-grandfather, and refused to repent over his involvement.

Great photo.

That chair was saved from the destruction by a salvage company, and was given to my friend as a gift...it's all clean now.

Just so everyone knows, Avalon Bay threw most of that ornamental ironwork in the trash. Including those finials on the spires.

Place is gone now so I don't care saying it, but it took us all morning to set up the damn chairs like that. I was hot as hell too.

Then that night, some retards tried to burn down the building!

Later on they got rearranged in circles fooling around...

God that place was fun

One could here every little sound and wonder; What is that??? And when someone was there sight seeing, you would hear them walking down bellow.. CREEPYYY!! And if an urban explorer happened to walk in there and someone raised up from the bed? Me? I would go through the window..lol
