< on 3/30/2011 3:00 AM >
|  | | | In December me and Catwalk Kid drove up to a local state school. This place has always been on my to go list even since I was little. A lot of the interior structure of these buildings has rotted and floors have caved in.
Also respirators are necessary when going in because the buildings are loaded with asbestos.

| | | | Jesus Christ. I know its by no means a pristine and off the records place but can people really stop name dropping everything?
Especially places which people are attempting to get preserved?
You been here six months, you should know the fucking deal by now.
On to point two: Stop wearing gas masks. It's not WWI.
Point three: Read up on photography.

Man, that place is definitely starting to go... Looks like you were close to the morgue, or what's left of it.

| | | | This place was legendary but it's looking like it has far outlived its legend. I don't like name-dropping either, but I think this place may have reached the point where it just doesn't matter anymore.

Is there anything left of it? I was told the property owner removed it to use as a 'prop' for the commercial endeavor there.

I'll send you a before and after when I get home from work... but it's pretty much just a shell now. If you didn't know it was a morgue, you would think it was a closet. Is it definitely being used as a prop? Does anyone know? That's what I heard as well, and would like to know if that's the truth.

| | | | Is your friend really wearing a full-face gasmask? Too funny. The only time you should have a gasmask on is during a mustard-gas attack or to use as a prop for UE photos. Which I personally think is corny shit anyway

You just need to know what to look for.
I am pretty certain the morgue drawers are in admin now, not that the morgue was great anyway.
But I wonder how the x-ray room is doing. The sketchy floor kept people out and it in good shape I recall.

You can thank a local "shit"head and his anger issues for destroying that barber shop.
HINT: hope you get the "shit" part, same person responsible for the imfamous poop heard around the world.

| | | | Wow.. O haii! Forgive some brief shameless self promotion, but I encourage you to google info on the location, namely the preservation website is a *great* resource. Such a place has an extremely profound, groundbreaking history and I promise a few minutes of internet reading is worth your while
