Mnementh It's bizarre that they work so well hanging from the ceiling like that...you wouldn't think they'd have enough wire or conduit to hang that far & still stay connected...

	Mnementh Now HERE'S where I'd live if I were homeless! Oh yeah! Plug in the TV, boom box, microwave, oh and then I could recharge my electric razor & toothbrush! ^_^

	Mnementh But no cupholders! And where do you put the remote??

	Mnementh Reminds me of a small-town newspaper I worked at long ago. They took all the ruined newsprint from the begining of press runs, calibrations, etc. and tossed it into a steel machine shed. By the time I worked there the shed was filled halfway to the ceiling with newspapers. Apparently nobody was willing to recycle TONS of paper without being paid and heaven forbid that they'd do THAT! -_-

	Mnementh Last time I was in a hospital they provided patients with styro pitchers like these for water. Have no idea why they dated them though...

	Mnementh Was the little lead apron hanging on a nearby peg?

Mnementh Now this IS a waste...I know there's a market for bowling alleys and, believe it or not, you CAN move them! I saw where someone bought a decomissioned air force base and converted it to commercial use and cut up one of the bowling alleys to make a humongous confrence table - it was about 15' long and must have weighed over 1,000 lbs 'cause that's rock maple, edge laminated and VERY thick.

	Mnementh I'm struck by the contrasting textures of the fluffy pillow, soft blanket and crunchy paint chips...

	Mnementh That is what I enjoy in urban exploring...seeing how mans creations hold up against nature when no maintenance is done. I have a strong suspicion that if large neutron bombs were set off, eliminating mankind, that within 50-75 years there would be little indication of mankinds brief reign on earth...

	Mnementh This set actually reminds me more of the 60's soap opera 'Dark Shadows'

	Mnementh Indeed it is...they re-roofed the catholic cathedral in St. Paul last year & it had a shiny copper dome for all of 3-4 months before it started to whether. Now it's already accumulating it's green mantle of verdegris, though it has nothing on THESE roofs! ^_^

	Mnementh Geez, first terazzo floors and now an ornate chandeliered room with stained glass skylight? Methinks this building had a different, higher use in a previous existence...perhaps a masonic temple?

	Mnementh These places make me think of military bases with their tripply redundant power supplies. Any reason why they all had their own power plants instead of tying into the local grid?

	Mnementh There are even BIGGER ones. A local news story about 6 months ago here concerned a nurse who was burned to death when she was inside a WALK-IN autoclave and it somehow activated...

	Mnementh Hmmm...hope somebody wasn't trying to get high enough to vandalize that beautiful glass. Looks like there's an interesting design in the floor too....

	Mnementh I got one I inherited from my parents. Works better at crushing ice into larger pieces than a blender, which tends to puree it into slush...

	Mnementh I used to work w. one back in the late 70s at an newspaper - we'd use it to make plates w. the subscriber's addresses which would in turn be printed on the papers for bulk mailing.

	Mnementh ...remove FUNNY BONE!! (sorry, did anyone else have an 'operation' game as a kid?)

	Mnementh Yea, cheer for the home team!! Kind of sad that they didn't even let them out for exercise...

	Mnementh I've seen 35mm arc projectors like this in countless unused old theaters. They're as technologically antiquated as a manual typewriter...

	Mnementh What the prohibition era speakeasy looked like after the cops raided it... ^_^

	Mnementh Was the 'pit of oblivion' mural here too or was that somewhere else?

	Mnementh Ah childhood memories! My father bought a victorian house from the son of the original owner. One day I found the stairs to the attic, whoch looked JUST LIKE THIS! Even better, there was TONS of junk in the attic including vintage toys and 1940s WWII era comic books! My sister and I were in heaven!

	Mnementh The autopsy table actually looks like it would be good for anything messy like artwork or mechanics...when you were done you could clean up easily...
