the only monsters are the ones who let something once so grand fall into such a state of neglect and disrepair

You are looking at a picture of my old room. I drew the picture of "Max" from "Wild Things" on the wall. I was officially the last resident of the Sterling Hotel - at least legally. I lived there for several months after it closed down. It was quite an adventure, I had a 100 room apartment.

i think it's such a shame they let the sterling turn into that....something once so beautiful into a mess. maybe they should go and clean it......the people here in wilkes-barre better never ever demolish that building....i'd miss passing it everyday and just wanting to go back in the day to see it

It's neat that the light fixture is still suspended from the ceiling amidst all that chaos.
