This imposing warehouse is used for the storage of evidence from Chicago & Cook County crimes, including those of serial killer John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
Among the grisly artifacts stored here are the door to Gacy's crawlspace where he buried nearly 30 young men and boys, personal items of his victims, a ligature Gacy used for strangulation, and samples of Gacy's blood.

Metaverse Shakespeare Company’s 2010 Main Canon: Twelfth Night, Act 2
– Open-Ended Run
Shakespeare, Second Life—The Metaverse Shakespeare Company (MSC),
formerly SL Shakespeare Company (SLSC), next Tuesday will open its
long-awaited 2010 Main Canon production of Twelfth Night, Act 2—“As
you will it!” in an open-ended run to occur every Tuesday at 6 PM SLT
(PT), and every Sunday at 1 PM SLT (PT). Set to occur at the 4-sim SL
Globe Theatre (http://visit.mshakespeare.com) in the virtual world of
Second Life—this live theatrical performance, available anywhere with
an Internet connection, continues the troupe’s 2009 production of
Twelfth Night, Act 1—but, with a fresher, riper take, and its own
amalgam of the year’s innovations in virtual theatre.
Artistic Director Ina Centaur has crafted an interpretation that
conveys the topsy-turvy nature of the play and the era of its
creation, without being bound by the constraints of a
historically-accurate production, “Even though this production is set
in a pre-modernity ‘generic past,’ there’s still plenty of Elizabethan
bawdry and notions… There’s the presentation of class-crossing as a
ridicule-prone absurdity and some intense visual portrayal of that
heavily-cozy-explicit language—with a wild bit where a drunk-betimes
Sir Toby Belch urinates live on-stage to ‘[fill] an unfill’d can
(II.iii).’ Says Centaur on the music of Twelfth Night and the spirit
of the open-ended run, “We’re providing sheet music and
instrumental-only clips for all of our songs on the mShakespeare Blog,
so that audience members can sing along with our live show (with their
SL mic’s off, in the privacy of their own home) or in their own
Metaverse Shakespeare theatre-inspired karaoke events... For most
shows, we’re sticking with an orthodox interpretation and traditional
songs, drawn from eras before and Shakespeare’s contemporaries. But,
this being an open-ended run, be braced for variations, and character
metamorphosis—in both act and appearance.”
This Open-Ended run of Twelfth Night, Act 2—“As you will it!”, like
Act 1, will evolve into a final form, per audience interaction on the
play’s progression. These interpretations are based on archetypes,
grounded in the play’s intrinsic elements, such as character
relationships. In April, the troupe will begin weaving “Variations” to
its main interpretation, where certain characters will undergo some
dramatic metamorphoses. Antonio and Sebastian will oscillate between
varying degrees of a close-friendship, from the orthodox
interpretation of caring-companionship to, in the words of Artistic
Director Ina Centaur, “a homo-erotic or quasi-masochistic
relationship... to finally settle down and arrive at the one that fits
best!” Most curiously, Malvolio, that time-weathered face, will
de-age, becoming, as described by an anonymous patron, “a complexion
that e’en you may fancy”, in the virtual world’s take on new
scholarship interpretations of Shakespeare’s tragic villain-victim as
a young man. For select shows, gender-experimentation interpretations
will manifest in all-female or all-male or even switched-gender
productions of the play. The troupe will once again show its April
Fools “Super Spoof” edition in a special performance on Thursday,
April 1, that will explore the character relations of Shakespeare’s
Twelfth Night via a medley of parodies inspired by popular modern
shows.
While this will be the troupe’s first production under its new name of
Metaverse Shakespeare Company, Centaur asserts that the production
continues to uphold the company’s founding ideals of creating quality,
memorable productions, while developing this nascent field of virtual
theatre, “As with every Main Canon production, we spend about a
thousand hours rehearsing and analyzing, building and designing, and
also applying new technologies to virtual theatre… For Twelfth Night,
Act 2, our three technological innovations include the usage of
physics, moving automatons, and visual illusion on the virtual stage.
You’ll see physics on-stage, in both built-in and scripted forms in
our apple catches in Scene 3, and wilting rose motif in Scene 4—and,
in the crawlspace of Scene 3, you’d see prim-based automaton actors in
the form of rats!”
Special to this production, the MSC introduces the concept of
“crowdsourced interactive set design,” which allows anyone to submit a
graffiti message or poster/flyer idea to be plastered onto the “City
Wall of Illyria” set in Act 2, Scene 1. More details at
The live show, presented via SL Voice, is also available in
closed-captioning with dynamic subtitles in English, Esperanto,
French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish.
The play stars Alestria Corryong, Caliban Jigsaw, Constantine Paulino,
Ina Centaur, Kerry Takashi, and Pipsqueak Albatros, with additional
guest actors to appear in select shows.
Starting March 2, shows occur
Tuesdays at 6 PM SLT (PT)
Sundays at 1 PM SLT (PT)
only at the SL Globe Theatre at Shakespeare (255,255,25), Second Life
All shows are free (“pay as you will”), except for VIP performances,
occurring on the last Tuesday and Sunday of each performance month.
About Twelfth Night, Act 2
Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is a multiplot story with plentiful songs
and bawdry topsy-turviness. On one hand it’s the story of a
shipwrecked girl named Viola, whose choice to go incognito as a boy
eunuch results in myriad complications—including a gender-bending love
triangle. On another, it chronicles the fallacious rise and tragic
fall of a Puritanical steward named Malvolio, who becomes a victim of
his too-lofty dream. Act 2 sets the basics for his downfall—his
dysfunctional relationship with the other servants provokes a
practical joke involving a certain forged letter, that would
eventually ruin him—but, Act 2 sparks only of joviality; tragedy is
due in a later act.

Conspicuous orange, paper label attached to asbestos pipe insulation in building utility tunnel crawlspace. Closer study reveals the label indicates K&M-brand "Fine Corrugated Air Cell", by Keasbey and Mattison ("Best in Asbestos"). Also note telltale brass bandings.
My first 'big face' Count Chocula box, this one from 1977 and showcases Star Wars scene stick-ons. From Spike's Crawlspace, series 52.
This box has sold.
Example of corrugated "air cell" type pipe insulation with localized area of damage. Suspect asbestos debris is also present on floor surface inside utility tunnel.
It all started 20-30 years ago when my father began collection beer cans as a teenager. That quickly grew into signs, posters, lights, and other random beer related objects. Once he had my brother and I it came to a halt and everything was packed away into boxes in our crawlspace for the next 20 years.
After quickly filling up one side of the garage with bottles from his mission to taste many different beers, he set out to transform our normal 2 car garage into a beer lovers dream world.
The left wall is consumed with close to 500 different bottles of beer, not one bottle goes on the wall unless he's drank it! The rafters of the garage are filled with cans dating back 20 and 30 years... some even more. Mounted to those same rafters are two 22" flat screen TVs. The right side wall is covered partially with beer steins, glasses, shot glasses, and some very special bottles of beer including a "Thank you for your support" bottle from Budweiser that only distributors received and a Batch19 bottle that was used as promotion but never bottled since. The rest of the right wall and part of the rear wall contain beer signs that date back 20+ years. The remaining portion of the rear wall contains a "BEER ONLY" fridge and a tool bench that doubles as a bar, complete with bar stools. You'll also notice along the wall two bar style high tables and chairs.
The collection continues to grow every day as he finds beers he's never tried before, signs he's never seen before, or things that just catch his eye.
If you have any suggestions on what beer to try, would like to donate something to the Garage Bar, or would simply like to show some love, please leave it in the comments below or message me.
The upper one looks insect-eaten, though the white spots might be fungi.
The lower one looks like a piece of wood that has been on fire- oxidized, not chewed. It had more little rectangular bits that fell off when I moved it. I've seen this pattern on a lot of firewood, large or small, split, broken to length or even sawn lumber, like this, tossed into a fire. Burned wooden structures too, come to think of it.
So it suffered some kind of rot, while in contact with damp ground. Suggestions?
These were the faces of 4X4 aka 10cm X 10cm timbers a dreaded previous owner left in the crawl space under our house. At least 26 years ago. I split them so they were acceptable in our green-waste recycling bin (Maximum branch size is 4 inch / 10cm diameter, that or larger, and square, seem excessive)
At approximately 0900 hours, a Chevy Tahoe crashed through a home located at 657 N. Cedar Street in Canby. When Canby Firefighters arrived, the crews found a newer model SUV that had crashed through a one-story single-family residence. The vehicle physically drove partially through one bedroom, and almost entirely through a second bedroom, coming to a rest half inside the home, half outside the home. The residences were not home at the time of the crash.
As firefighters triaged the scene, they found an adult female in the vehicle and they identified that the home's gas meter had been sheared and gas was freely flowing from the gas line. Firefighters were able to walk the driver from her vehicle to an awaiting ambulance for medical evaluation where she was transported to Willamette falls Hospital.
Realizing that they could not secure the gas leak themselves, Canby Firefighters and Police evacuated the immediate area, which included approximately 15 homes on N. Cedar and N. Birch Street. Firefighters then had Canby Utility cut the electrical service to the home to eliminate any potential ignition sources and notified Northwest Natural Gas.
Northwest Natural Gas arrived within approximately 45 minutes. They secured the gas leak by digging up the gas line, claming it, and then capping it to prevent leakage. They then checked the home for accumulations of Natural Gas, which is lighter than air and has a tendency to pocket in enclosed areas like the attics and crawlspaces. Once the home was declared safe, they check the adjacent properties and declared that the evacuation order could be lifted.
Once the gas was secure, Cornerstone Construction provided essential structural shoring to the damaged structure so the vehicle could be removed from the interior of the home. During the shoring and vehicle extrication, the homeowners arrived and witnessed the devastation. One of their first concerns was the family cat, which they found hiding in a remote area of the home, uninjured. "Our cat lives in the first bedroom, and its bed is right under the window, right where the car entered our home. It's amazing the cat survived," said David Schindler, the homeowner.

The middle ring of Deck G is a low-height area, due to the curvature of the hull underneath. This area is filled with auxiliary systems, life support equipment, and cargo bays, with a series of interconnected crawlspaces threading between them and connecting to the corridors in the centre and in the outer ring. The remainder of Deck G will be added soon; for now Deck H is still visible below.
Can you spot them all? Subspace transceivers, transporter emitters, waste reclamation units, batteries, gravity field generators, air recyclers, landing legs, and cargo hatches.
Example of corrugated asbestos pipe insulation ("Air-Cell" type); found as debris in building crawlspace.
Example of localized, damaged asbestos pipe insulation ("duplex" type) within creepy crawlspace tunnel area underneath occupied building.
Example of corrugated asbestos pipe insulation ("air cell" type) installed on pipes, showing exposed end and small area of localized physical damage. Cobwebs are extra-special bonus.

House crisis! Our crawlspace was flooding, and leaking into other rooms. We finally were able to fix it by having a handyman come and fill in a big crack in our foundation. (Claire had bought cement for us to do this ourselves about a year ago, but we never got around to it.) ....... But in the meanwhile, we needed to document the extent of things. Plus, Claire has never even seen this part of the house. It's very hard to get into. Carolyn has to climb up on top of the utility room sink, and generally be boosted by Claire, and then shimmy in. You can't even kneel in this crawlspace. It's a literal crawl space.

I'm left alone
I don't know my way home
I am wet
my last hug I'll never forget
I'm cold
I will do anything, even what I'm told
I'm left alone here
are you what I need or what I fear?
Here is the hole they cut in the wall behind our bar / behind the kitchen sink.
BACKSTORY: Right on the heels of our leaking crawlspace flood that cost $400 to fix, we ended up with yet another flood: A leaking sink that cost over $650 to repair. Turns out, there was a pipe behind the wall that had rusted through. (This wouldn't be the last flood this year, either.)

We recently discovered we have an attic. We knew there was a small crawlspace, entered through Keaton's room, but Ann discovered that if you go through the crawlspace it opens up into a large space that you can stand it. It has no floor, but somebody who used to live here put down boards over the rafters. Only some idiot laid down particle board in places instead of real wood. I went in there for the first time today, and one of the particle boards snapped under my weight. Fortunately the garage door was open, and broke my fall. The downside is, we need to buy a new garage door. I imagine they aren't cheap. Still, how much would I pay to avoid breaking my leg or cracking my skull?
Here's what they did behind the garbage disposal.

I went to check on my cat colony today and was pleased to see that most of the temporary workers & families have left. Also, Felipe had mowed the overgrown grass and cleaned up the grounds. I was also happy to see Bonita, Rocko and Chica.....all seemed to looked like they were suffering from: PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)---as they hid out from the workers all summer--which disrupted their eating and playtime.
All were on the thin side, and Rocko was holding his head cocked--which has me concerned. I fed him wet food and there was nothing wrong with his appetite. 'Didn't see "Uno" or the rest of the cats--but am hoping they will show up now that it is back to normal there.
More below.

This is Aura..and in spite of how very chubby she looks she only weighs about 7 pounds! He fur gives her the illusion of being much heavier!
I have no idea what kind of cat she is so we just say she is a very fluffy, pretty barn cat! She is half sister to Kohl....same mama but likely a different dad...i say likely because i do not understand genetics, but neither Kohl’s dad or mom are longhaired. There is a full “brother” too, to Kohl (who is equally annoying and vocal!!!) and he looks almost identical to the dad with a white chest on this same shade of gray...but he too is short haired like Kohl. There will be no more...as i finally caught Boo2 (aka mama) and had her spayed. Took for freakin’ ever to catch that wiley little beast....now she is getting used to us and will actually let us pet her!
I wish i knew what Aura was mixed with,,,maybe Maine Coon?? Her fur is SO incredibly soft, and rarely mats ANYWHERE on her whole body! We have only had to brush her a couple times after she got into the old section of the basement and went exploring in the cobwebs of the crawlspace under the oldest section of the house, and that was as a precaution and to get the cobwebs off of her!
Tonight she sat still for a shot as she waited for the chance at possibly wheedling another meal out of me as i was working on the computer. probably thinks i do not know she was already fed!! Loki has been sick and has been getting extra meals to help him gain back the weight he lost and she tries to get in on the goods!
