This building unfortunately caught fire the other night. The entire 2nd floor is gone and only 1 and a half of those pillars are left - the entire roof caved in. Quite a shame, it was really a site to see this while driving up the first hill.
Sorry ladies & mates, but I've simply GOT to reply to Keith's use of the term "retard" & his assertion that a good portion of "them" actually "choose to be that way"...
What a silly load of rubbish!
While there are,of course, many who become intellectually disabled as the result of accidents ( some of whom probably WERE at fault due to some form of negligence ), using these unfortunates as an excuse to rationalize the continued use of an offensive term is quite ignorant.
While the word "retard" was,indeed, legitimate medical terminology for those with such disabilities, it has become an insensitive, offensive one now due to it's misuse.
Language is NOT a static thing. It constantly evolves & ( as an earlier post's author so astutely pointed out ) just as one no longer ( or shouldn't anyhow... ) uses certain racial descriptions that were once considered the norm, but which are now inappropriate & offensive ( ie "coloured" for those of African decent or "oriental" for those of Asian ), it is simply rude to continue to describe those born with developmental & mental - learning disabilities as "retards".
i live right by this place, in fact there is NO ELECTRICITY runing to the shut down parts of the school, i went in there with a group of friends and it was mid summer 80 degrees outside and around 30 degrees inside, we went in all of our cell phoens died and the first floor was flooded on the side we entered when we were scared shitless we left and the water moved from one side to the other, 13 people were arrested that night
I love this Hall way, very Twilight zone. Or if you've seen Oaklahoma, her dream sequence where she's running through the halls... looks like this. Love the composition.
I like the way the stairs seem to welcome you to a hotel or some place fancy. They look Velvet covered. Almost like a ruse to say this is a warm inviting place.
