My aunt worked in that very building. I showed her this set and she went bonkers, you made her very happy motts, she said seeing the pictures brought back a lot of memories.

I can't believe the Met is going the way of Dix and Danvers. :-(

Hip waders rule!
The steam tunnels are really cool but very hard to navigate.

Just got back from a 6 hour exploration of Glenndale. Nothing weird happened(unless you count bumping into a bunch of Mexicans who were there for the same reasons we were). I grew up in Bowie and have been to GDH more times than I could possibly count(at least 100) and nothing "supernatural" has ever happened to me. But that's just me. :-)

I would imagine they had it in case of a workplace injury.

I should have been more clear. I was trying to show that compared to the rest of the hospital, the level of decay in this room is exponentially less drastic. for example look at this picture from the same hospital and complare the decay there to what is happening in this room.

naw, most "bums"(I hate using that term) are fairly cool, they are just like you or me but without the money.
The cool thing was that he remembered me before I said anything to him.

As far as asbestos, this place is contaminated out the waa-zoo. The TB bacteria on the other hand, I highly doubt. once TB was a more controllable disease and there was no longer a need for TB sanatoriums like Glenndale, these places were used as general hospitals and the like. Glenndale was used as a hospice for the chronically ill for many years after it's life as a TB sanatorium.

I, personally can't find anything scary about Glenndale, but you should be careful.
My weird Glenndale story is the the same transient asked me for a cigarette twice, once last august and once about 2 months ago. Freaky

Agnosticism (possibly spelled wrong) is very misunderstood, a true agnostic does not believe nor disbelieve anything and that includes god, far off placed and the past and future. in an infinite universe, anything is possible.

I think this window is safe where it is, somthing tells me that this place requires high tech ninja skills to get into undetected. Usually, if you have the high tech ninja skills then you have enough brains to not destroy somthing so beautifull.

Lights On

Maypost

I have been to many places that are still on the power grid. It really is not all that uncommon. I did some research and apparently when the circuit is never broken(.i.e. the light is never turned off) a flouresent bulb can last almost 20 years.
but there is always somthing sinister about working lights at an abandoned hospital, almost like they left to go home for the night and never cam back.
