what would ever posess you to destroy places like this? dont these pictures and peoples comments show you how intersting this stuff is and how many people want to learn from it? whats so fun about destroying things that have been their for longer than you have? there are so many other things you can do to 'live it up' than that.

Wow, when I stare at the building, the clouds play a trick on my eyes and look like the are slowly drifting. Love the open window reflecting in the water, and how the wall draws one's perspective into the building, then the building up into the sky. This is a great shot, Motts!

I can't even wrap my head aroud this photo. The building itself looks totally computer-generated (especially with the crisp, clear architecture), and the background looks like an impressionist-style painting. Phenomenal shot, Motts.

I agree with JR's comments (god I'd love a loom, a have a friend who weaves the most beautiful scarves himself) but I also think it's worth noting that it's the stuff they left behind that makes these places interesting - if all these places were totally empty and stark inside (aside from the peeling paint) it wouldn't be nearly as interesting to explore through them, or to spend all the hours we do looking at these photos :p The stuff left behind gives us a glimpse at what these places were like during their operation. Literally a snapshot of history itself.

ROFL Keith. I find some of the soap dispenser comments to be getting quite old but that was quite unexpected :)

This was a day care center called Playground on the Sound. It was a day care for the employee's kids. It served many in our community.

The droppings may have been from pidgeons.Pidgeons are known to leave their droppings in the same place for a long time.I have been in old buildings where the droppings were 6 to 12 inches deep.
