I'd actually be hoping to see something of Central Islip for quite a while - although it was well before my birth, my great-grandmother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and institutionalized here, sometime in the 1960s, and remained there until she died. The family tried as best they could to care for her, but eventually she attacked her husband - believing him to be someone or something else - and they had no choice but to send her here.

Its funny to see how many people on here hate clowns. I am also terrified of them... but oddly enought i dont mind Pennywise (the clown from IT) .... i think its just cuz i love Tim Curry and really cant be afraid of him... i dunno... Ronald McDonald scares the ever loving crap outta me though.
Thanks again Motts, cant wait for more!
