isn't it great the MAN checked in for us

Bobo, thats the FIRST thing i noted as well... and was going to make mention of it. No, cable or satellite back then kiddies! lol.
Also, would of paid to see these!

Really enjoy the historic photo here. Wonder what jobs this couple had at the hospital. Neat little street with lovely homes. Its just a shame what became of them.

Looks like a heavy fog has drifted in. I like it!

the new monniker will still explain my affliction

Deep admiration for this shot! Love it!

Seems like there are a LOT of abandoned building in Detroit. hopefully it's not as dangerous as it used to be now.

Early attempts at creating a zombie-proof walkway for access from citadel to citadel. Due to cost overruns, such walkways were abandoned for the people-mover trebuchet's we use today.

Look, just shove it all under the table, right?

"Department of Mental Hygiene" Creepy.

I like the upper left corner door that has a corner of it hacked out. And that the hinges face both directions, but the opposite directions I would have expected.

With all the homeless people in the US, something I think is appalling, I don't understand why places like this (and there are many) can't be either given or sold very cheaply to someone who could put some "sweat-equity" into the property and then live there. There are so many boarded up and vacant properties in so many cities, why can't something be done so people don't have to live on the street? I'm sure the reason is all politics but frankly, I just don't get it.

That's a shame, I'd rather look at the abandoned buildings!

Despite these medical buildings usually having a way in, those old houses were always boarded up pretty tight when I visited. There was a large one here http://opacity.us/image1595_headquarters.htm that was open once, but it was dark, empty, and gutted inside, not really worth shooting.
