The light fixture attached underneath the Exit Sign reminds me of the light fixture in the bathroom of the house I grew up in. The house was built in the mid-1950s. I wonder if this Exit Sign and light fixture are from that decade?

Hey Everybody! I think somebody 'tresspassing' left their blue jacket on the floor alright. However, I don't think it was a 'vandal' if you know what I mean!? : D

Note to Motts: I hope you wash the asbestos, the lead paint chips, the mold spores, the fecal matter of critters, and who knows what else out of that jacket every once in a while! : ) We care about you and want you to stay well!

I'm wondering if it did get used, and then the kid ended up outgrowing it. So then they would have had to make a new one for the child that fit his or her larger (growing) body. That happens with kids who have prosthetics, you know.

I can't help but wonder what they used to break the inside windows that caused that 'spider web' effect?...I, too, would just rather the windows of empty buildings in the U.S.A. be left alone (and in other countries, as well). But you know that's not gonna happen!

That light/lamp looks like it's just a little too small for that room.....Also, I've heard of black ice before, but I've never seen ice covering black mold! I guess the good thing is that the ice covering keeps the mold spores out of your lungs, Motts! Still...YECHT!!!
