great picture! i like the colors too

Yeah, and what IS up with the jellybean man, anyway?

clearly and alusion to child abuse ...

The lighting, the peeling paint, the mood: An unbelievable photo...

Ooooooooooo. . . it IS the dungeon!

What a wreck! Why do people let a place like this get so bad in the first place? A crying shame.

Oh my gosh! It's like the stairs into the deep, nasty, mildewey, dungeony hole of the black finger-eating monster. . .

Oh! Think of all the work that must've gone into building this place, all the time & energy & even creativity. It just makes me sick, I tell you!

Oh, dude, you're right! You can see the "k" between the top angel's halo & body! And their little bodies do kinda look like twinkies, don't they? Wow, I was just about ready to start looking for some deeply subversive subpsychological meaning to this, when all it really is is the work of a bunch of pot-heads with spraycans and the munchies for twinkies. . .

From the exterior (except for the boarded up windows) it almost looks like it could still be used, like it's just waiting for the next shift to arrive. I'm just discusted by the waste of its destruction.

I think this picture just shows how huge, how involved this campus was. Such a shame. So much work, so much history, all wasted because of the throw-away mentality of a dying society. . .

The tower in the front of the building has a small spiral staircase which leads to four balconies on each site that you could hang out on.

Quite a few over the years. I'm sure a few of the 700 people buried there were suicides. I know of at least 5.

If I would have seen that chair after already seen the movie I just might have wet my pants !!!

Tastless when u realize how many suicdes would have taken place there.
