I worked in a home for MR teenagers and the adminstration building (former dorms) had bathrooms with notes up like this. They also had toliets like the previous photo. The building was about a 100 years old but was used until the 80s as the main home. They then built cottages for the residents.

Lynne, i know of what you speak. Sometimes they were still called "residents" although the legal term was also "clients" which is what the staff called them. The older nuns would still use "residents" however, remembering when they shared the main building with them. No matter what, they still are my kids and I see some of them on the public bus now that they have been placed in group homes. Its a good feeling knowing you have made a difference in their lives.

In the early 80's I found an abandoned cemetery, and while exploring it, I came across one of these fenced-in trees.

I returned to the area in 2001, and found it cleaned up a bit, but many headstones were still laying on the ground in several broken pieces, and the tree was still fenced in.
GOOD POINT, PUDDLEBOY. I'VE SEEN THIS ON A GOLF COURSE IN NORTH CAROLINA. THERE WERE A FEW HEADSTONES INSIDE DATING FROM THE EARLY 18OO'S. THE TREE LOOKED TWICE AS OLD! AND GUESS WHAT? MY CAMERA BROKE! I DIDN'T GET A PICTURE. I COULDA USED YA MOTTS!

I once saw this in an old cemetery. Instead of a headstone, the tree was the marker, and it had a fence around it. Possibly somebody buried there.

TP was probably allocated at the door by a supervisor...

And I'm sure it was handed out sparingly, like four sheets per visit.

No I doubt that you'd find a sign similar to this one is a Men's room but I am sure there are a few lewd remarks written on the walls.

I don't think it's lewd personally... there isn't all too much that shocks me! But people coming to this site are from all backgrounds and ages, and my photos aren't very edgy, so I was trying to take it into consideration.

There also aren't signs like this in the men's rooms I've been in

A similar poster can be found in women's restrooms everywhere in the US and probably the world. I found it amusing that you called it lewd. I wouldn't have thought twice about such a common thing. Perhaps I spend much more time in women's restrooms than you, what?
I remember my mother having one of these type bikes,an adult sized one ofcourse.It was this really awful shade of orange.Why did people like such ugly colors back in the seventies?
