Lynne-
Reading that makes me think of another wildly misunderstood medication. Lithium.
We know it works, and we know it works well in children with Bi Polar disorder, but there are so many horror stories that go right along with it, that there are flying misconceptions about it.

Probably nothing at all wrong with this place. No doubt they closed it to build something new.

Can I borrow some Jumper cables, anyone??

I'm with Lynne on this one, mashed potatoes here, peas & carrots there, Salisbury steak in the big compartment.

Hey, AT -

I have 7 or 8 old vintage ads for Thorazine if you still need any. Plus several hundred other hysterical ones, like, "Benzedrine - for men in combat - when the going gets tough." :-)

Another fantastic ad shows a group of fighter jets and has this text:

"Benzedrine inhaler is available to high altitude flying personnel! Benzedrine inhaler is now an official item of issue in the Army Air Forces. It is available to Flight Surgeons for distribution to high altitude flying personnel, for relief of nasal congestion. Benzedrine inhaler is a volatile nasocontrictor . . . outstandingly convenient, but first and foremost, a highly effective therapeutic agent."

Another GREAT series, Motts! Even the ironwork on the conveyor is that lovely lattice-work! Hopefully you might get another peek at this place and a view inside that little coal receiving building?

Always a treat to visit here and see more great stuff...and to think I stumbled upon this place while searching for a vintage ad for Thorazine!

Motts, glad to know you're ok. My camera bag is backpack-style with plenty of loops to hook stuff on with carabiners. Maybe a carabiner would be an idea to carry a mask...we don't want ya to be ill just for the thrill of urban epxloration, Motts! :)

I knew you wouldn't leave out the lovely old-fashioned ironwork! This is what makes the architecture more unique...today, we only see stuff like that in more frequently traveled places like airports or train stations. Power plants seem to be just boxes with no special architectural features.

Interesting how the doors on the left don't match each other OR the matched ones on the right side! Unique! Looks like a school hallway.

Now THAT is da bomb, Motts! Really puts things into perspective to see that heavenly high cathedral ceiling...and such elegant architecture, too.

That's like the photo of the shipbuilders standing next to the giant propellor screws from Titanic!

This photo makes those boilers look....elegant in design.

LoL! Same here... :0)

Well, it's off to bed, Blondie.......

It's amazing! I could too!

Yeah, I could stare at this picture for minutes.....
