Yesterday Annie and I hopped in the car and went out looking for an adventure. We ended up visiting 2 playgrounds, an open house at an old ship and a firetruck. Before we got to that, Annie was patient enough to let me snoop around the old State Hospital grounds. I never paid attention to the media reports about developments going on up there. The Reader's Digest version is- The buildings that fostered the dark workings of an insane asylum are historical landmarks and are being preserved, updated and converted into an upscale community. As I drove around I found a deli, a couple wine tasting rooms and a coffee shop intertwined with the wrought iron gates and barred windows of the deserted sanitarium.
Does anybody else think that's a bad idea? Haven't we seen enough horror films to know better? I have enough to worry about without my wife getting extra crazy by drinking the enchanted brew of a coffee made in the electro therapy room of the "nervous hospital".

I agree with you about the riskiness of this endevor :) :) but it is so cool they are not just letting it rot.
Well, if a bunch of rich yuppie fudgies go crazy and start killing each other you can't exactly say that it would be a tragedy.
Well said Ed
