Lynne... paging Lynne... will Lynne please report to shadow hall... ><

metal, hearing that would make me run the other way. Ghosts supernatural does not bother me. It almost seems natural in a place with a lot of history. It is the idea that I have that some sadistic lunatic could take someone to a place like this and keep them locked there, to torture and torment at will that scares the hell out of me. for me that seems too real.

someone.....or something.

Don't know if motts will read this or care, but 1) definetly a soap dispenser. 2) I work at a kitchen and bath showroom and yes they do make a light very similar to that. try urban archeaology, there are so many. Love the pic. U have amazing insight to b able to see these shots. wonder what goes on inside ur head.

I agree with who said humans were the disgusting animals. We're the only animals that are naked their whole life.

I'm with mAliss: "fuck you, DW. no animal deserves to end up as a coat."

*puts on checkgirl uniform and speaks into microphone* Pricecheck, I need a price check on a Raccoon.

I just realized how stupid that sounded... I was 6 years old when KPPC closed XD
even so, I wish I could have a loom like that. of course not that exact old decreipt crap-covered one, but one like it. even so, it may sound cheap, but I doubt I'm the only one who wishes they could've have some of this expensive/interesting stuff before it rotted... its a shame. it may tell us something now about the people who once dwelled in certain places, but the developers planning to tear down various places could usually care less about the "junk" that lies inside. I know KPPC isn't coming down anytime soon, but I was speaking of places in general... ah, you get what I mean, lol.

rtotten, (if you're still around, lol) I've heard that this mural was painted by a patient a long time ago. judging by the looks of it (the old style camera, the colored tiles which seem to no longer be there, the decript looking paint, etc.), I could say that the "long time ago" claim is a safe assumption.

ugh why must something like this go to waste? I really could've used that. see I craft all sorts of Native American things, and this loom would've been perfect for ponchos and handbags and the like. nowadays I have no idea where I could find such a loom, as well as the cost of it! if I had just one thing I could've retrieved before this place was abandoned (I mean they really should've put some of this stuff up for grabs if they were just gonna leave it to rot), I think I would've taken one of these looms.

Reminds me of close encounter of the 3rd kind!

you wanna know what really boggles my mind about places like this? think about this for a moment: Kings Park closed its doors in '96. think of the historical events that this building has not witnessed: the deaths of celebrities and presidents, the columbine shootings, 9/11, the columbia crash, the war... it's mind boggling. its almost as if this building as well as other buildings have a sort of innosense of what has happened since they've closed... like they've frozen in time. I don't know, that's just sort've what I thought, since I live on Long Island. it's amazing to think that I was only 6 when this place closed...

all I know is that once I accidently locked myself out of my parents home and my then 8 yr. old daughter had to b lifted in thru a first floor laundry rm. window, and I forgot, my mom had a fire extinguisher right under the window. My daughter stepped on it and this white stuff shot out all over the room. It took about two wks. to get that crap cleaned up. It is like volcanic dust (which I have from Mt.s t. helens) only white! What a big mess!

rikki tikki tavaii, I remember that cartoon. definetly a mongoose. saves his "family" from two was it king cobras? racoons aren't disgusting animals. They r wild animals! I think humans r the only truly disgusting animals. Because they know between right and wrong. we had a pet racoon once. He was hit by a car and we nursed him back to health. He lived in our basement in Queens for 4 mos. he would come up and see my 3yr old on the floor and he would sit and watch her from a distance. he was very shy and clean for the most part. I think he knew we had saved his life.

haha, its just the opposite here, you guys are making me feel very old, lol

but I digress... that thing is creepy. where did the water come out? I don't see any showerheads. is it those tiny little nozzely looking things?

Wow! I want to know if anyone else can see the similarities. If I were on Union Tpke. I'd swear I was looking at Creedmoor. Wonder y they never closed that one. Any one know?
