Portland, Maine on a mild winter day:
But I grew up in a tiny little town on seneca lake in upstate NY called Willard (ironically, in Portland I live on Willard Beach).Seneca Lake is gorgeous and I havent been able to find a picture that does it justice, but...
Willard was probably most famous for it's mental asylum for which the town was actually named, and not vice-versa. The Hospital was enormous; it ran the entire length of the town, had it's own movie theatre, cemetery, and by the time I was a kid 50% of it was shut down and the buildings were already dilapidated. There were of course, countless urban legends of ghosts, haunted buildings, and escaped homicidal maniacs that were still on the loose and lurking in our town. Our mission as kids was to explore these buildings and separate truth from fiction. Many pairs of drawers were soiled. Here's one of the run down buildings:
Spooky.
