This is a fantastic pic. I wish I had your eye Motts.

But rich, he really needs two to do this . . . . . . . .

Guys, im seeing zig-zags on the floor

Em, sorry about that. Someone who shall remain anonymous apparently consumed a couple of bottles of rum and was doing the pirate dance here, leaving the tell-tale zig-zag marks behind. :-(

Motts you have an excellent eye!

Here we are again with the "Motts only has one eye" theory. What's up with that? Y'all partial to cyclops or what? ;-)

whew, thanx for the explaination Lynne, I thought I took the wrong meds again.

I have a warrior's heart, a poet's tongue, and an artist's eye.... all in jars on my bedside table lol!

Maybe his other eye is inferior. Or that's the one rich has in one of his jars. In which case, Motts already has his eye patch for the pirate dance.

I can see Abbott and Costello running across, from door to door, Frankenstein, or Dracula, chasing them.....dating myself here....

Heheh awyper, I think maybe we could all do with a change of meds in here!

What does that make you, Tony, 80? ;-)

I think Motts has another eye in the back of his head too. Just like mothers do. So we'd best all behave. :)

He may have, since he always takes great pics and all angles.

I live in Pittsburgh. The local PBS station ran a story on Dixmont about two years ago....I remember one lady being interviewed outside, along the windows, and you could hear constant bangs & slams. It was the wind blowing through the building, slamming doors open and closed.

I also remember a large mosaic in the floor tiles, I think it was where a reception desk once was. It may have been a star of some sort.

They went all down through the tunnels, showing some of the graffiti by those who were brave enough t venture down there. There was even a mosaic made of broken record pieces. I'm not sure who made that.

There may be information on copies of the documentary on the WQED website.

Great shot, gj connecting the middle line in that Zorro 'Z'.

I keep expecting to see Shaggy and Scooby running out of one of the doors while being chased by a "ghost". And the ghost would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!

Cowbiter, I contaced WQED about it, they simply said the dvd is not for sale. wtf.

Mr. Motts, All these remarks about your eyes. If U wont defend Ur self, I shall. It has nothing to do with his eyes. I's all done with Mirrors. Right Motts??? Really, just great the way the light comes into the hall from the doors. Mirrors, wadn't it. I KNEW IT!!!

is that mold?

peeling paint from water damage. institution green paint. i hate that color, something about it is so depressing and hopeless to me, cold, sterile, lifeless. Yet, this photo is beautiful. It's amazing how much beauty is hidden inside ugliness, or just the idea of the mystery.

aqua seafoam shame

The doors look surprisingly in good condition.

wow, the doors are in really good condition!
