Basketball Court

Anyone up for a game of one-on-one, or perhaps a game of H-O-R-S-E??!!

i played a ghost in bball here

Naw, that was jsut ~Me.

This pic reminds me of that movie AIR BUD .. When the little boy finds the deserted basketball court next to his house and teaches his dog how to play, hahaha

I dident know that the nuts played sports there

The 'nuts' didn't play sports, they jsut sort of 'hung' around, maybe a lil pocket ball every once in a while.....

how do you know so much on this place did somebody you know work there ?

First 'hand' experience,
LOL ROFL!
first hand, oh my!

im heading up to byberry in mid march if anyone is willing to go

Right now, we're not sure if Byberry will still be standing in mid-March.

If you are going then go soon...it will all be coming down. They have cleared some of the brush for the press conference they had a few months ago and ceremoniously knocked down the "Philadelphia State Hospital" sign. The ticks are VERY bad there and the guys clearing the brush were almost in tears when they got covered with them. Security seems tighter but it is a huge place with a lot of ground to cover. Not sure how they will implode the tunnels but it seems all of it - including many if the very old trees - are just going down at once. It is also home to a ton of wildlife so who knows what will happen to all the birds and animals. Hope they don't run out into Route 1 to be killed!

THEY ARE RIPPING THAT DOWN - SORT OF MAKES ME NERVOUS - WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THERE
I AM NOT BUY A HOUSE THERE

Well unless you are over 55 you can't buy a house there

Let's play ball of death! HA! HA!

MJ- I thought your comment about the patients playing pocket pool was really slanderous of the people who had to brave "mental illness" and this institution, who often experienced dehumanizing sexual, physical abuse from those "sane" employees. The same people who were supposed to be helping them. Thankyou Motts, Radical Ed, etc. for sharing this place, and for leading me to the story of Anna Jennings. I think it's important to understand how people are shaped by their world. And you call them "nuts" MJ! errrrg! I always wonder about the experiences these places have witnessed. The stories of peoples lives, it's all history...

Actually you were lucky if they kept it in their pockets. Some were rather open about waxing the dolphin.

Yeeeaahh....I think i'll be leaving this page now.

get a lawn mower

Where's the tennis court? Let's rally! : )
