Crowded Shower

STL girl

Even if those hooks were indeed for curtains, it looks like the shower chair crowd got less privacy than those using the retrofit stalls.

Connection

STL girl

Outside

STL girl

No kids, just a silly shepherd dog who is at the moment rolled up in a ball on the couch.

Regarding those with Alzhemir's and Parkinson's disorders...I wonder what happened if any of them had symptoms of thinking everyone was staring or other paranoia.

Shade

STL girl

steam heat in the dorm where I spent my first half of college. No hissing, just pipes that loudly went Clunk-Bang-Thud in the night.

Float

Sad thing about murals painted right on the walls-can't take it with you.

Larva

...it might have been comfy when it was the newest thing on the market. I don't think dental chairs these days are made to resemble upended Alice in Wonderland caterpillars.

The wall in this shot is what needs wallpaper!!

Rollers

STL girl

Uhmm, wow..?? At least the current ones are all plastic with clips or magnets and a person only needs to put up with it for 1/2 hour in the salon! I would not have slept well at all with a headful of that junk.

Vanity

STL girl

"spray laquer"?? Figures. Only horrendous beehive clown hair would justify aerosol cans of that stuff invented for use on one's head.

Look Out!

STL girl

it would be really funny to encounter an incident where chairs actually did fall through a floor!

Prime Time

STL girl

Not bad looking. I think the blue tile is a lesser of aesthetic evils compared to the brown and green (or orange and yellow!) varieties.

Dental

STL girl

Impression trays? Echh, hate the taste of that crud...yeah, it sticks in the memory long after the braces & retainer. Especially cause impressions for my retainer needed at least one do-over. Ewww!

Makeshift Bed

STL girl

possibly a makeshift exam room...creepy, though! I would think that color would have people seeing things after a while.

Behind the Screen

STL girl

there must have just been movies in that kind of theater...unless it was a temporary one while something was being built?

Sharp Patterns

STL girl

When it isn't in a subway, tile all over is weird.

Sharp Patterns

painted-over cinderblock might have been easy enough to clean...tile all over the walls creeps me out.

Missing Bag

STL girl

Odd, that there'd be a random "motel print" in that gym area...

Rehab

STL girl

Ugh. The non-med-compliants are the ones who go back, or have to stay residential.

Colored Frames

STL girl

Ahhh, much less claustrophobic than the previous hallway!

Subsequent

STL girl

and the footprints look like they're tracking red paint compared to the dust!

Twin

STL girl

-was just gonna say, that looks like the back hallway of a large kitchen.

Sky and Sun

STL girl

That's one nice shade of blue!

Fallen

STL girl

I feel bad for a butterfly, something beautiful, that got lost among the corridors of something like this and had to die there.
-Unless it was already dead and simply fell through a hole in the roof.

Duality

STL girl

nice matching job, it looks like an outline of something that got painted around.
