Market St Bridge

Shawn

You gotta see what they have done to this poor building... After our historical flood the gates that actually go across both sides of this bridge were leaking pretty bad, I mean thank god they didnt break cause the whole city would have been under water but alot of the water that did leak threw went into the basement of the Sterling. The city is telling the public that there is structural damage and it can't be repaired. They have millions in grants and even got money from the public to repair this old building and now there just shutting it down. Personally i think they just needed an excuse... They took the money and blew it on... Whatever... They even closed of half of the road cause there saying it could fall at anytime supposedly they don't have the money to tear it down either.... It's rediculious.... In its Hayday this place was probably amazing. Back then a person worked on the tile, railings, trimming by hand it wasn't stuck in a machine and had a button pushed... MOTTS brings this back to life! I've been on this site ever since I found it on 3 days ago continuously. Thank you for doing what you do Motts and I'm glad I get to comment on it too!

Morgue

Shawn

You know that everyone calls these a Morgue, but really when you think of it, it's actually a walk in freezer, just like you would see in a restaurant, but with the exception of there being lots or doors on the front, and with pull our tables that the bodies lay on. When you go to your local gas station, or grocery store's freezer section, it looks just like what you see here in the picture, but with big glass doors that you pull open and there's shelves where they place the milk and ice cream on, and if you look straight to the back you can see the rest of the cooler where the shelves are stocked from the back side, so basically a morgue is a modified walk in cooler like exactly what you see in your local neighborhood grocery store, gas station or restaurant. I know because I am a refrigeration repair guy, and have seen many of these.

X-Ray Equipment

Shawn

Man I sure want this machine. Especially the tube and collimator unit, as they don't make them like this anymore. Is the power supply still there, and what about the film processing unit? Is it a kodak or fischer. I just started learning how to repair x ray machines within the last yr, and they are a very simple machine, you just have to be careful with the high voltage anode and cathode ends.

X-Ray Panel

I want this!!!

X-Ray

Shawn

I'll take this machine. Sure is a waste, as there are many private hospitals stuggling to make ends meet, and need new equipment. This could go to some facility thats in need.

Brunswick

Shawn

Brunswick is so CRAP! I have worked in a bowling alley once yrs back, and everyday I was repairing the Brunswick pinsetters, if there was one day that went by and I did not have to make any repairs well i would almost shit my pants LOL. I begged them to get new equipment made by AMF which is by far so much better then Brunswick

Whoops

Shawn

Man I sure would love to have these patients records, especially the records of the male patients, as I am a gay man. maybe there's some pictures of their faces in them boxes. I would take the pictures and protect them with all my might, even place them under my mattress or pillow for that matter, yeah it may sound strange to many, but these are innocent people who have been killed. I myself believe in ghosts, theres good ghosts and bad ones. If you treat them right they will treat you right, at least thats how i feel. I have been in an abandoned mental hospital here called malcom bliss, and have found a few facial pictures of male mental patients, they looked to be in their mid 30's I took them home and I have them taped to my headboard above my pillow. I feel that they are protecting me at night just like I am doing them. don't know their names, which bother's me lots, I don't know how they died, and I don't want to know. Just ticks me off that the state can do these types of things to the insane, they have a voice as well, and need to be heard, as they can't help being who they are. The photos I found are not in best of shape, as the hospital closed in 1993, and I found them in 2004. I just recently taped them to my headboard, and now I don't seem to be having any more bad dreams at night like I used to, sounds weird don't it. I alsolaminated them to keep them from getting any worse or more worn out. If you find any let me know.

Examination Light

Shawn

Cool Light, I would sure love to have this light. I rumage through abandoned buildings all the time and I have taken home some very neat things, and have never been bothered with the police at all. i look at it this way better me having it then seeing it go in to a dumpster or being vandelized by some one with nothing to do. Could you possibly get this light and send it to me?? Just coiurious. I would love to hang it and wire it up on my ceiling in the basement would make a great conversation peice during football season when I have friends over.
