Another great series, more chairs than you can shake a stick at, but not a soap dispenser to be found. Keep 'em coming!

Yay! A new gallery! Wow, my father the hardwood floor installer/refinisher would be apalled at the gym floor!

I just realized I have never seen the other gallery from Fuller State so it was my first time reading the history. What a tragic place to be in. Those poor people. It is sickening. :(

What a great surprise! Thank you Mr. Motts. This gym has seen better days. I agree with Kathy. The story on Fuller State is very sad indeed. I'm sure there were many care givers who were compassionate & tried to make a difference. But when the State under staffs, overcrowds, under funds, under equips, and turns a blind eye, it's a recipe for disaster. Burnout & apathy was inevitable. I certainly don't condone the abuse of anyone. But there was a higher authority that had the power to quell a lot of it before it started. It was a tragic situation for all.

Thanks for the new gallery Mr Motts, this pic makes me so melancholy. Even though i know it is a hospital it still gives me this image of a high school on graduation day. That fast forwards through time and as the students grow older the school grows older tell both the school and the students start to show their age. The students and the school locked together by the fond memories played out there and as those memories begin to fade in the students minds the school fades a little more.

Two galleries in one week, I'm in heaven! I see those ropes hanging down, it brings back horrible memories of gym class when we would have to climb those stupid things. I never understood how that was going to help me in life, especially when the entire class is laughing because you can't do it.
