Blood Samples

Blood Samples

These canisters were ready to be mailed to the Metropolitan Pathology Laboratory in Teaneck, NJ (not related to Metropolitan State Hospital). Other than that, there wasn't much left in the once beautiful laboratory.

I've been in there a few times and have seen that bottle. I went there last week and the bottle was gone. It was a little disappointing. I think it got thrown away cuz they're planning deconstruction of the place and have begun to clean it up.

Some places are easy, others are quite difficult, physically, security-wise, or both.

I just visited this place (old main) last Saturday (I drove up from Hartford Ct area). Yeah, the place is amazine; even more so than these incredibly well-done pictures depict. There are about five places to enter, obviously in the basement. I found one on a stairwell so I quickly got to lighted floors. The windows in the doors to the small rooms says it all...Steve.

my friend and i went there last weekend and got chased out just before we made it inside. i believe the security is heavy now because it's so close to demolition

the floors are also extremely dangerous i hear. it's remarkable to be brought so close up. these pictures were taken in 2006?

So they hire somebody to guard an abandoned building while they watch it deteriorate until it is finally demolished, right?
