while a different jon has a point, i recall once hearing a quote that went like this:
"How a society treats its dead is indicative of how it will treat its living. When it does not matter whether or not a person is memorialized or remembered, we are not far from a society where life is cheap and someone's death is nothing."Doug Manning (This is not the excat quote i heard, but it is close enough. And yeah - i know it is cheesy but it raises a good point).
It is easy to say vandalism adds to its beauty b/c it does not have the same historic signficance as more well-known sites; nevertheless, people died at this place. I can go on and on here but it basically comes down to this, these building and the people who lived there, they deserve respect.

for some reason, i find this to be so sad. no one cared for them when they were alive and no one cares now.

I have noticed quite a bit of green paint throughout all the mental hospitals.

question, was it supposed to have the calming effect that the old Bakers Pink?

the green gives the image a even more creepier and sinister...sick twisted view..

Forgive me for saying, But what Parent in their right mind will lock up a child in an institution

what was all that stuff? it looks like clothes.... maybe it was just regular trash?

Maybe it read."I Love Soap dispensers! "? HeHe

Or bleeding.

That's a great reality shot.

How old do you think it is??

It's almost like some lost soul coming home.

How sad that photo is, this was someones home. All they had left.

Kinda freaky right after the skeleton photo. Like it's trying to fight it's way out of that file cabinet.

ugh..that would freak me out

Whoa. This makes it so much more real!
