And the funny thing is, I work with people that get prescription drugs on the street at like $4-5 a pill so all this precaution did nothing. It still goes on because people go to the doctor fake something ask for hydrocodone or whatever, get it, then sell it. THAT'S why when I go to get my other Rx, they have to go in this locked compartment to see if it's in stock.

So many things that are under lock and key these days weren't in prior years. It's the people that have abused these items like medications or the street sales of these stubstances that wreck it for the rest of us. I have had chronic back pain for the last 20+ years thanks to an auto accident. In order to be able to work full time, live my life and not lay in bed like a vegtable all day I am on a high dose of narcotics to keep the pain down to 5-6 (on a 1-10 scale) so I can function. I used to be able to call in my script to the doctors office but a couple years ago they changed that proceedure so that now I have to make an appointment every 30 days and actually see them, pick up my scripts and leave. And you know why? Because of the people that abuse these narcotics and sell them on the street for recreational use and have no real use for them other than to get high. I say smoke pot like everyone else and leave the prescription drugs to people that need them in order to live.

Dead end tiled tunnel lined with benches?
May have been a bomb shelter later in the 50s-60s, earlier it may have been a pantry?

This place is haunted I live up the street and worked at the Beechwood hotel. every now and then I would be outside smoking a butt at break time and some times I would hear screams so haunting that would leave chills on my arms. I also worked at night as a housekeeper. love this pic they messed up should have leased the place. should have called Ghost Hunters.

I've seen similar shower stations and controls at the old Stockton Asylum in California, the state's first... What always disturbed me was how HOT the temperature gauges went. There was a shower control station in Stockton that topped out at 210 degrees... I see one of these dials indicates that over 120 is dangerous.

j'adore cette photo!!!!!

this is amazing, i live down the street from this place, and i've been there a couple of times.

if you think this is creepy, they're still using parts of the hospital now, i visited a friend in there and it was extremely emotional.
