The walls just look so solid still in this shot. And Lynne, I couldn't do what you do, I bow and scrape to you dear.

Ed, maybe you could install soap dispensers...IN CARS! We could save a lot of money on handiwipes and kill germs at the same time!

And of course , install a light fixure, to see what you are doing!!!! ;-) And, yes, I have installed soap dispensers, (when I managed a movie theater for a few years!)

Ed's my new hero now

Hey, Ed, I have a five year old...I could USE one in MY car!!!

Soap dispensers in cars? Sounds like something from 'Pimp My Ride'!

Actually I would hazard a guess that Xibit &co. HAVEN'T tried fitting a soap dispenser to someone's ancient Chevy yet...

Pimp my Ride had a Mustang convertible that blew bubbles out the tail pipe, redefining the term "useless"

OMG Grifspop I saw that episode! LOL, sorry I couldn't resist, I've only seen about 2 or 3 episodes...if I had my car on 'Pimp My Ride' I'd prefer they leave out useless frills and upgrade me to a Maybach or a Rolls or something - just scrap my old junker completely.

Maybe they could upgrade my Beetle to a Bentley...

Motts, did you happen to notice the area in the basement, where the entrances said something that prohibited employees of the hospital from entering and that the area was for patients only. Because I cannot figure out why they would not allow employees but allow patients.

No, but I think I remember a photo of something similar... was it a caged-in hallway that had patients on one side and employees on the other?

Motts

Is it my eyes deceiving me, or does that look like wheel tracks on the floor? I can imagine a lone ghost in a wheel chair strolling along in the empty orridors of time. Or an employee strolling a corpse for its last ride toward the morgue.

i remember in the movie of session 9 there is a sign that says patients only, it is on a wall for the tunnels i think, the caged hallway in the basement has two little tabs, one that says employees, and one that says patients. creepy about the patients only thing huh?

Big Ted & other inquiring about the signs: Check out this link. The sign you are talking about actually read "Basement and Tunnels are restricted areas for patient use - Building Security". There's alot of other interesting pic's on this site as well.

I hate basements

ESPECIALLY THIS ONE

looks great motts

It's interesting that right now on InSession (formerly Courttv) is an arson/murder case wherin the defendant is extremely mentally disturbed. The crime occurred 10 years ago and in testimony by psychiatrists it turns out the defendant was detained for observation in this very hospital. Must have been shortly before closing.

@ Swamp Thing:

That looks like a highway sign ... like the ones that say "Flag Man Ahead" or something.

You could not pay me enough money to go towards that blackness. Eeee.
