		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been down to Taunton to see the old Kirkbride in a long time now. I wanted to pretend that the demolition going on there isn&#8217;t happening, and that the building is still standing there untouched and quietly beautiful as ever. But of course I wasn&#8217;t going to be able to avoid reality forever [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week someone on the forum posted a link to a Time Magazine Story which mentioned Traverse City State Hospital. It gave me the idea to check for more stories concerning state hospitals from Time&#8217;s extensive 86 year archive. While there weren&#8217;t any amazing finds, there were a few interesting items&#8230;

The transformation of  Traverse City State Hospital into The Village at Grand Traverse Commons is probably a familiar story to most of you reading this blog. Reuse of the buildings there is moving steadily forward and the project has largely been a success. It continues to amaze me that more cities haven&#8217;t yet followed this example with [...]]]></description>

The classic Danvers State Hospital posters from DanversStateInsaneAsylum.com are available for purchase again. A few days ago, the reclusive John Gray posted about them on the forum.
