Puddleboy Throughout this entire gallery, I wrote the first thing that popped into my head. LOL

	Puddleboy Another excellent tour, and a bit different than some of the others. Thank you!!!

	Puddleboy Looks more like they never used the toilets. The floor turned ~green~

	Puddleboy That bed doesn't look very comfortable. My back aches just looking at it.

	Puddleboy Reminds me of an animal shelter

	Puddleboy That looks too nice to burn anything in it.

	Puddleboy I do see the resemblence to a bank. The wide entrence in the middle leads to the vault.

	Puddleboy I ~want~ one!!! It would look gooood on top of my monitor

	Puddleboy Looks like a couple people we know (who shall remain nameless) haven't been here yet. Those windows would all be busted in a matter of minutes.

	Puddleboy They are supposed to destroy all records, including those left behind by patients a/k/a Kim Carnes albums.

	Puddleboy At least we all agree that it ~is~ a toaster, and not some kind of light fixture or soap dispencer.

Location: Letchworth Village  Gallery: Power Plant

	Puddleboy It could also be they used toasters before paper shredders were invented. Instead of shredding the evidence, they burned it. (LOL)

	Puddleboy You're right about the Kim Carnes record. They tryed playing "Bette Davis Eyes" backwards to see if it has any secret messages in it.

Puddleboy Thanks Lynne!!!! That was just as interesting as the site I posted. I'm learning a lot about the history and origin of graffiti, but not finding the word I was looking for. I'ld swear people referred to it as 'something else' when I was little. Back in them bade olde dayes, when people drew hungrey rabbits in pencil or carved 'Karen loves Billy' on a tree. Was it just the writting on the wall?

	Puddleboy Does anybody know (or remember) what this stuff was called before the word 'graffiti' was coined? All I could come up with is 'the writting on the wall'. I was just into Google trying to find the answer, but came up with this interesting site... http://www.ccd.rpi.edu...t/grafitti/index.htm

	Puddleboy Kellogg's? Battle Creek? Who are the doctors there? Snap, Crackle & Pop?

	Puddleboy I don't think the tunnels had water in them then. Over the course of time, they have begun to leak. As for the purpose of the tunnels, I believe it was a way to transport the patients from building to building without exposing them to the outside elements.

	Puddleboy The contrast of the written word between the new and old is quite dramatic. Older written books (on any subject) are much more text heavy than the modern ones that rely mostly on pictures to get their point across. Where is the happy medium? Volumes written in the 50's and 60's seems to be the best cross-section of text and photos.

	Puddleboy Generic Chucks? I remember Sears, Grants, Woolworths and JC Penney all sold imitation Chucks. Other brands from my youth are U. S. Keds and Bata Bullets. All were styled about the same.

Location: Hewitt State Hospital and Prison  Gallery: Prison and Medical Building

	Puddleboy I know of a certain rabbit that'll look real nice in there.

	Puddleboy Where i was actually listening the night they changed 'big bad old WWSH' to Z 106, and I managed to catch the change from Electric 106 to Eagle 106 as well, I was completely unaware of the switch to cool jazz until reading it in the newspaper.

Location: Philadelphia State Hospital (Byberry)  Gallery: Sunlight

	Puddleboy After I signed off, I realized it wasn't '85, as they were still Z 106 at this point. '95? I thought they had switched to cool jazz by then, but then I know of no one who listened to this station past '90 or so.

	Puddleboy I do remember Eagle 106, and Electric 106 before that. (LOL)

	Puddleboy I just posted a sample of my 'artwork' on the PBR Blog... http://puddleboyrules.blogspot.com/

	Puddleboy I remember reading about this recently. Don't know if it was in the messages here, or on another Byberry site. I believe the station was the old 'Y 100'.
