Crazy is an easy blanket term for anyone who appears to not conform with the norm :)

"We must all conform"
"We must all conform"
"We must all conform"
"We must all conform"

Boy, I've had too much turkey tonight, or maybe it's the wine?

Or maybe I'm not conforming? ;)

"Crazies" vs. "people with psychiatric illness"

"Crazies" -> hurts and stigmatizes people
"People with psychiatric illness" -> describes people

There's more to it than "just" being politically correct.

Now, back down off the soapboax. Just a warm holiday thought. :-)

But you gotta admit, with that many windows, imagine the beautiful views you would get from that hospital. You could probably see boston! The crazies probably loved the fact they can see for miles!

Hahha, oops, didn't see that little disclaimer there about the entering of the property... oh well...

Hahhaha, whatever floats your boat

I prefer to follow the green paint and black yarn.

The hydrotherapy room, hot and cold treatment, and shock therapy rooms are located within the circular offset of the main hospital building, all of the beds that were used are still all set up in a circle... The main route to them has been collapsed in... BUT... if you go up high enough in the building, up to the fifth floor, head all the way in the direction of that area, you can then take the stairs down past the collapsed part of the building and head straight for them... just a little info... [admin edit: entry info removed] just follow the red spray paint marks along the walls and the white yarn that is laying on the floor... if you get lost, just look for the white yarn, it'll lead you to an exit... not that i would know or left that stuff!

The only picture that is really missing from the photo gallery is the one of the childrens ward! me and my buddy had something walk down the hallway from us while we were around in that area...

You know what the worst part is? every single flight of stairs that is in that place (or at least the part that i've been in) looks exactly like that... its sooooo easy to get lost in there. And as you go up higher and higher, it gets hotter and hotter... there must have been at least a 30 degree difference from the first floor all the way up to the fifth! and also it sounded like stuff was moving all around you at the same time, so it was pretty freaky

If any of you would like to know of a way in there, i have been in there before... many times actually! so if you'd like to know how to get in there or possibly meet up and go for a little tour of the place, i would happily show or tell you!

haha thanks Lynne. I'm not working right now so Ive got pleanty of time on my hands to do research and photograph things!

I only carry my Canon 5D nowadays...

Motts just curious how many cameras do you carry?

No, isnt that the shadow cast by his legs, taking the picture? The way a shadow lays out in front of you in the sunlight?. I see it the way you, like batmans head from behind, but I dont think so..

Thanks, Lynne!
