EH...why do I have that stupid commercial in my head now....

The HOPPAH! LOL!

Rivets...reminds me of those old cartoons from the war-era somehow. :)

~LG

Wanderer--yes and it has been for some time now. We all have either gas heat or electric heat here in this part of PA anyhow...and we were BIG in the coal business at one time. :)

These look so very old.

~LG

Wow...the stories this machinery can tell...

All rusted and thrown into decay from disuse. :( How sad.

~LG

I too think that something was taken out of the building through that hole. :) It looks like a gaping maw...creeeeeepy.

~LG

Pennsylvania's Coal Country, huh? Guess where I live? HAHA...Northeast Pennsylvania, which was also a BIG part of the Coal era! Our old house was built for the miners and their families and our old house and the house next to it, and the house next to that all looked almost identical in appearance because they were "cookie cutter" houses for those families.

The house we are in now (other side of town) was also built during that time (50's I think?) so this whole area was very important to the coal production. :)

I would love to know exactly where in PA this is...I know they have a lot of breakers out by Pittsburgh. I am across the state from there, but we also have a large breaker just like this right here in Scranton. :)

YAY! I get to look at more pic-ee-tures! :D

*Giggling at Wanderer*

I think the Zombies took them lol.

Ah no soap dispensers...how sad...

~LG

AH too bad! You would think there would be SOMETHING left in there to look at. :)

You tried anyhow lol.
~LG

I see a dinosaur (or Star Wars) looking figure on the left...and a wolf or an anmal with a long nose on the right ... another of those inkblot test pictures lol.
~LG

Umm...fellow explorer as in a LIVE person or someone that has just joined you in exploring lol...

:) Love your galleries Motts! Always something to see and think about!

~LG

Or one of those African antelopes...the ones with the really long horns...

AAAH this picture is THE BEST!!

~LG

AAAAAHhhhh thanks Nick! Now I have the willies...

I HAD to go back and look, didn't I?

"Eyes without a face..."
~LG

Hahahahahaha...I am guilty of the bubble wrap thing... >.< Chinese lanterns...yep can see the point there too!

It is such a shame that people have to break glass when they see it, but I guess it's like a mountain...why do people climb a mountain? Because it is there...

Still a shame.

~LG

Thank you all! Our son is doing better, but he isn't quite out of the woods yet. He is on good meds so thank you for all your well-wishes!!

I can't keep myself away from this gallery either...I love looking at these pictures and picturing myself there at its busiest time...

Time travelling! :)

~LG

I see a leg and a shoe...I can't see it as the lock and surrounding area at all. :-/ I see a person...and now I can't UN-see it. This will spook me for a long time. I DO believe spirits still linger in places where there are strong emotions or where a person felt strong feelings about the place in question. We have a spirit of a little boy who I think had died in the house as a young child (possibly from TB or some old-world disease) and he comes and visits us often. :) My kids and hubby as well as myself have seen him. :)

~LG

LOL Mica...I have to spell check too. >.<

That is a LONG time to be in business! It's a shame a long-established company had to go bankrupt. :( Sign of the times, I suppose.

~LG

OMG...again! You have quite the eye! I DO see the man in profile drinking a hot, steaming cup of joe!

LOL @ Rorschach Test...isn't it funny how we all can see something different even though we are looking at the same picture? That is what makes Motts' galleries so great: we can all look at these photos and notice something that the others possibly have missed...each time I look at the pictures I see something new. :)

~LG

Thanks Bill! Now I can totally pronounce it! :) Italian and Spanish...beautiful languages...

French is nice too! :)

Tooth Doctor...lol that would simplify it lol!

~LG

LOL HI eldokid!! LOL! Nice to see you!!

Aw but I wanna see what's in those holesss *whiiiiine*

This makes me shiver for some reason...
~LG

TY Just me. :) He is such a trooper...he loves looking at these pictures as much as Mama does!! LOL! He is next to me now. :D

~LG

I love it!

What a nice way to end my day...our sick litlte boy next to me and a Motts' gallery. :)

Thanks for sharing and I hope to see more soon!

~LG

Reminds me of playing "Ghostbusters" on the WII...there is a kitchen scene and there are these kinds of long things in that game. There are canopies over them...so I think that is what this is too. :)

~LG

Nice light and dark in this. :)

~LG

Love the hexagonal tiles! Well...there is something missing on this chair...but I can't put my finger...er...butt...on it...
~LG

Whoa...maybe this is where the Zombies hang out!!!

That is creepy and fascinating at the same time.

~LG

LONELY CHAAAAIIIRS...so THIS is where they go to find a mate...lol.

It does look like a chair-social or something lol.
