Dust and Grime

so is there junk in that trunk?

quick question: not knowing what's in it, do you open it? logic would dictate no, wouldn't it? is it complacency? o.k. , I have an active imagination, but if you're checking out this site, you do too.
just having a little fun. But still - a good point.

I was by the property today and from what I could see Toyota has a huge brand new complex that probably covers a square mile. I don't know but I doubt any of these buildings are still standing. The forensic psychiatry is in a newer looking building a mile or two down the road near the prison. What a diverse area. I wish I could have seen it.
Does anyone know if Toyota is experiencing any paranromal activity?
Or if they built over some tunnels or bunkers or anything?

White Tunnel

Long Passage

maybe the above ground corridors were built only as protection from snow/rain when walking between buildings. A huge cost savings versus HVAC installation and maintenance. In winter you would just wear your coat. This one reminded me of the remake of The Haunting ,with Catherine Zeta Jones and Liam Neeson; the atrium scenes.
Man, there was some freaky moments in that one.

Grooming Room

resident ypsi

obviously a typo - I think it was supposed to say growing room; as in whatever is growing on the walls .
sorry -couldn't resist.

to the first comment here from ZombPiggers:

... it sucks to be that person !

I've been a resident of Ypsilanti Twp for 6 years now - I didn't know about the hospital until I started looking up local history. I wanted to see it for myself but never got the chance. I really wish I could have seen it. I didn't know Toyota was moving in or I would have made an effort before it was too late. I think Northville still has the main building standing, due to the fact that apparently no one wants to pay for the bio-hazard removal.
That one is patroled from what I understand.
I never got in to any of those either. God I suck.
Somebody drag me into a mental hospital;
no pun intended.
These photos are awesome. Thank god for all we have and all we don't -
