Does this qualify as your patented Lone Chair Shot™? It has the right amount of melancholy for it.

That's amazing. Kudos to the inventor of the fluorescent bulb.

That tile has held up pretty well. Can't say the same for the rest of the room. I'm pretty sure after the nuclear holocaust, all that will be left are cockroaches, Cher, Keith Richards, and subway tile.

My parents both remember getting the Salk vaccine when it was first available; the palpable fear of polio was something like I don't think anyone today can even possibly relate to. My grandmother told me that over the summer, you didn't see a lot of kids running around, playing. She remembered the same thing from when *she* was a little girl.

Nothing makes a day better than a new Motts gallery. Hopefully those aren't/weren't caskets. :-\

looks like a Soviet or East German prison from this angle.

Jim C in my opinion it is a passive aggressive way to destroy records that should be kept to prevent people coming back to hold them to account for bad things that happened when they were helpless.

That for another groovy gallery!
I don't recall seeing so many metal doors and windows in the other hospitals ( or fallen florescent lamps ). Please edit roughshod over my comments.

We only want one. . .

Sad little thing, can you hear it, slowly rattling down the passageway, dragging it's shattered frame desperately away from the there. Images it has seen in that room without a name, that cannot be mentioned, nightmares in the dark, the tortured squeals of metal grinding on metal, the snapping of spokes, must drag self away before they catch us again, must escape this time, seek the light, FIND THE LIGHT - LEAP INTO THE LIGHT - FIND A WINDOW AND JUMP FOR SANITY

Lair of the Zombies? No foot prints or dragging trails, might be safe. I'm sure it's safe. You go first.

It's nice to see the ugly florescent lights have tumbled to their doom. This is at least the second photo with downed light fixtures.

I'd like Nasal Packing for $500.

It kind of looks like the ceiling is sagging, or is that distortion from the camera lens?

Note to self:
Don't eat off the gurney.
