Would have loved to check Dixmont out.

Did anybody watch the news in the link? I forgot about it. It's pretty neat Opacity pictures were posted. Your famous Motts!

The graveyard has been untouched.

Nope, the state still owns the cemetery. It's up on the top side of the hill.

This bathroom is so pathetic!

What were they trying to do? Save a little money? Did someone get a kick back or something?

Look at the walls. The height of the wall looks like it is about five feet high. And then they installed a cheap rod and crummy curtain.

And where are the doors?

Someone got some dirty money on this cheap back - water, back - woods construction deal.

Mindless governments do not care about the less fortunate.

This looks like six (6) males and five (5) females on this mural. These people look they were members of the staff of this hospital. The time frame or decade of these people does look like the 1970's. To be more specific the time frame looks like from 1971 - 1975.

The male who is the 5th one from the left side wearing the light blue sweater and black pants with the beard looks light he was a marijuana user. He also looks like he probably thought that he was God's gift to women. He might have been a disco dancer.

The blond female on the far right wearing the blue sweater and dark blue pants probably has her eyes torn out with the blood streaming down her face for a reason. She probably was a creep when she worked at the hospital.

The male who is second from the right wearing the pink sweater and blue pants looks like he used to be one of those "down - with - the - establishment" type of hippies from the 1960's who decided that he should finally get a job. In the 1960's hippies had a saying (well the hippies had alot of saying's but anyway) this particular saying was "just live". This means that a hippie will sponge off of someone else (eating someone else's food and living in someone else's house) instead of doing any actual work and being a productive citizen.

Read up on Ira Einhorn: he was a "king" when it came to sponging and leaching off of other people just like the little "scum - bucket" that he was.

The male who is the fourth from the right wearing the black jacket and black pants.........
What is up with the red horns? Was that grafitti or was he really a little monster? hymmm......I wonder.

The man on the extreme left wearing the red shirt and blue pants who is starting to go bald looks like he is someone's side - kick. This "potato - head" also looks like he could be a sinister and devious when he wants to be.

The older man being the third from the left wearing the white shirt and red tie with the brown pants looks like he would look the other way if he happened to witness any unjustice that would happen to a patient. He probably had a weak personality.

The male in the middle wearing the blue and green checkered shirt and light brown pants with the squareish glasses does sort of look like an older George Costanza from the Seinfeld television show. I wonder if he had the same type of personality as the television character?

The female who is second from the left wearing the dark brown jacket, green pants and light brown turtle neck sweater. She looks like she was a no - nonsense, hard working type of woman. She probably did not think too much of a few of her co - workers though and it probably did make her working life hard at times.

The female who is the third from the right wearing the red sweater and white pants looks like she is the newest member of the staff. She more than likely had alot of new ideas and probably got shot down alot when she wanted to implement a new change.

As far as the other two females are concerned; I am not sure what to say about these two except that the female who is the sixth from the left wearing the red sweater and brown pants looks like she was a quiet person.

This mural looks like it was painted by a semi - professional.

What was the point of this mural anyway?
Self importance? Who knows?.......

This mural looks a little creepy.

that could be anything to hard to tell...

What about the 1300 graves on dixmont propert is walmart going to build over them????

I love it!

coool

not a lot of privacy huh?

Just a polite question, no bias, but how many of the people screaming "Walmart is a hellhole" have ever worked there, or haven't been advised by their union that it's a hellhole, or a friend of a friend's younger brother's ex-roommate's cousin worked there?
just out of curiosity..
No, I don't work there, nor do I know anyone who does, but every time I go to my local Wally World, the workers seem pretty okay with their situation..

Treatment can include a whole range of things, from a long talk and picture viewing with a Doctor, to a little juice, to an icepick in the upper orbit of the eye socket, It always depends on the happenstances.

Actually, I don't see a med window in the hall.. Unless the assumption is that it was in the door..
I can understand a nurse's station being enclosed thusly, as it would keep the clients out of the paperwork, phones, and the nurse's hair, not to mention the omnipresent coffeepot..
Looking at the setup, this looks like it would have been in either a security ward, or, looking at the handrail, possibly, blind area.

While it is true that Walmart has done some bad things, Dixmont's demise shouldn't be blamed on them.. The decay began almost 20 years before..
The buildings were in extremely sorry shape, and the asbestos wasn't very safe either.. I hate to say it, but vandals had a hand in it, as well as Mother Nature, and the people who salvaged the doors, windows, etc.
It still saddens me to see the old girl go.
