Nice to see that old hospital is still standing. Haven't been there in almost two years, heard there was a fire so I decided to avoid going back for a long time. There still a bunch of stray dogs chilling inside?

There were many fires.
They started demoing the buildings across the street this week. Supposedly a "barricade" is going up around the big building and demo will start on it soon also.

Awesome! Shots 13 and 16 are definitely my favorites. I also love the old elevator engines. The random needles freak me out a bit - I could just imagine grabbing a fistful of them by mistake in the dark...

Just saw some of the articles about its planned demo. Sad to see it go, but I guess all of the best buildings end up that way eventually. I'm gonna have to make one last trip out there soon before they demo it. Probably a good excuse to visit some other places in the area too.

Nice set, been to the last place.... Didn't get a chance to get back to the part across the street from it though. You had a nice outing it looks like.

I just saw a segment on the local news about the hospital. The local community sure is happy to see it go... I've driven past it many times but never made it in.

I usually just feel sort of melancholic with sets like this, but some of yours made me feel incredibly sad - in a good way. That diploma? Those footprints? Ugh.
Such a shame that so much of Penn. is decaying, and so strange that it seems stuck within the contrasts of metro and 'burbs and Appalachia. What a strange, sad state.
Great set!
