just got back nite from seeing the old girl and am glad i knew of the collapse or would've been shocked-however i looked at my last years pics and saw the same white antenna attached to the chimney of the right of the collapse and wire going into the window below-what is this? if the place is dangerous what purpose does it serve ? yep a fence is around it but not too intrusive-i walked as much of the area behind Bennet Commoms as i could but the trees are soo big it looks the same as years to past -windows broken out -the integrity of the building pretty good- my pics were blocked by the trees on the front of the building not muxh worthy of posting- sorry Flora-njoyed the trip and am determined to see her again next-as am sure she'll be there

Kudos Pat- holding the old tongue in valor of a G rated post- everything U said is true when I first went to Millbrook I thought of it as a Stepford village but Norman Rockwell is better - and the remark of antique driven village is also true however it seems to be the trend here- Pa. IA.---- and the real estate cabals drinking feverishly- are they throwing out the baby with the bath water ? U'll see me by the side of the road taking pics but how close do I dare go? should I paste a no trespassing sign on my back -when I get back from my visit U can be sure i'll lbeat my gums on this one

at least the pic was recent but stated the demo won't make it for Oct 1- was holding my breath- can always take a pic thru the fence

i have been thru the gamut of sites and nuthin' new but a really wowie one is done by F,A. Manzi- quoted on the board earlier- excellent on side shots and worthy of searching for however maybe the"Independent" will have some of the fence- I'd be interested if they do or will Ratchet inform us
search under Bennett school or Halycon hall

looks like I may have to do a shimmy to get a back view of the old girl progress ruins my fun but the folks in Bennett Commons will surely see a surge in INVADERS - not a hint for anyone- will try download new pics on Picasaweb {?}

is it mindless to put up the fence up so soon to a supposed demo ? guess - I"ll see soon enuff - how close is the fence to the building ? I do believe the walls of Jericho came down faster -------

drats- something to ruin my pics of the old girl- Motts had a very good comment - again what will the people in the Commons do when demo starts ?? too close for comfort- keep us upon progress- will have to keep in touch with the 'Independent' for pics

Motts- great to have U in this debate - sounds like U R not sitting on the fence - love this forum - snips - ahhhhhh

you bet -a fence is a dare to some of us- like putting out a Chihuahua to guard the White House ???? how hysterical -one dreaded mess to attract attenton to another one- don't see the old Girl coming down on SCHEDULED date either and how will the people in the Commons love that monstrosity in their view - I'll be stayng near the CT. border don't think any contamination would reach there ????? alI can say is
" whistle while they work" - good work reporting Ratchet Man - will be there in 48 days - Stax V8 now your turn to comment ----

so U say between Bennett Commons and back of Halcyon- never been there but won't post were I've been - the idea of the Halloween thing is perfect - we need a volunteer Frankenstein or Fred Munster cursing the demise of the old girl and have been told demo probably won't happen as scheduled [read former posts } keep up the info
- where to "Wander" next
