The enclosed nurses station glows like a beacon in the maximum security wards.

Fantastic shot. Was this sunlight through windows or lighting that still worked by some weird miracle?

Natural.
There's more natural light on the upper floors of the more highly trafficked buildings due to the *visitors* kicking the boards off of the windows.

That's weird. I've been to Byberry four times and I've only seen people once, and they were the most unlikely people to find inside, environmental inspectors.

I've met, travelled, guided, and partied with dozens of folks there a multitude of times.

The only electric lights that still work are the light posts along the driveways. I Know of a few people who have actually wired christmas lights on the roof of W-7. when I ran into them last weekend, they were all throwing the roof moldings off the roof.

Buck is a very cool old-school, long-haired, bearded Metalhead bass player who knows Byberry like the back of his hand. Big hulking, dangerous, but friendly dude.

Buck's description sound's like me!

Old schooler's seem to run rampant there, wish I had something like this by me!

We could have an 80's SLAYER worship club or something!!

HELL AWAITS!

The most I've seen was a wee little mouse, only once, in the catacombs. there's nothing left for rats or anything else to eat in there, the place is nothing other than steel and concrete, and a bit of wood.
