The Safe

Joe

I worked in a wool factory (insert your tacky jokes here) and I took care of their computer system.

They had a safe like this and it was amazing that it was all done up in brass and was all carved and ornate. There were so many drawer that held original documents when the factory opened in 1901.

They are turning the factory into luxury condos for morons who have too much money to blow.

Would love to see that safe one more time before its gone

Flash Cards

Joe

I remember a friend in grade school who went for Special Ed and he use to use these flashcards with a special reader that he slid through.

Oh and that kid today....owns his own business and is married with four kids. Guess the flashcards worked

Stagnant Playthings

Joe

"i real don,t think that those toys were there when the place was open "

You know what, even when a place shuts down PEOPLE BRING THING INTO AN ABANDONED BUILDING. Yes you are right, these were not here when the building opened up. WHO FRIGGIN CARES!

Mott is trying to show an emotion with this photo idiot. It is sad that a childhood memory is rotting away under rain water.

Look with your eyes moron
