So here's so fun trivia for you guys. Before TN was ever created, the tri-cities portion of the state called itself the 'State of Franklin.' It had a constitution and had everything needed to become a part of the then 13 states. (This was during the Revolutionary War, so we had declared our independence from England.)
Despite being named after Benjamin Franklin, Franklin didn't have any connection to the area. Evidence remains that this area still keeps that name in mind because this road carries the name. So, this has been my history lesson for the day! :D

The abandoned Pilgrim State Psychiatric Center on Long Island, NY (Brentwood). From the time I was in High School, I always wanted to go to Pilgrim State to explore and photograph it. Since then, much more of the facility has been closed, and the landmark smoke-stacks from the power station have been torn down.
Pilgrim State Hospital opened on October 1, 1931 as a close-knit community with its own police and fire department, courts, post office, a LIRR station, power plant, potter's field, swine farm, church, cemetery and water tower, as well as houses for staff and administrators. A series of underground tunnels were used for transporting food from the kitchens to the buildings, as well as housing steam pipes. Each set of buildings were known as quads, a pattern of four buildings situated around a center building, where the kitchen was located. After World War II, Pilgrim State Hospital experienced an increase in patient population that made it the world's largest hospital, with 13,875 patients and over 4,000 employees. In fact, at one time it was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest mental hospital in the world. In the 1950's more aggressive treatments, such as lobotomy and electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) were implemented. The best known controversy about this surrounded the case of Beulah Jones, a patient there between 1952-1972 who received both such treatments and was left seriously impaired.
For a brief period in the 80's some of the buildings were used as a correctional facility (prison), but this was short lived due to outcry from the community.
It was mostly closed by the mid-80's (slowly starting in 1974), but some buildings are still in use today.
In 1985 the movie "Murder: By Reason of Insanity", starring Candice Bergen, was filmed on the grounds of Pilgrim State Hospital, in Building 14.
Ghosts are rummored to haunt Pilgrim State Psychiatric Center.

Looking northeast at the bridge connecting the wings of Wilson Hall (left) and Hamilton Hall (right) on the campus of Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana.
Wilson Hall was constructed in 1976. It is named for Milburn Wilson, a professor of agricultural economics at Montana State from 1914 to 1934. He served briefly as the director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Division of Farm Management and Cost Accounting from 1924 to 1926. He returned to MSU, but on May 16, 1933, was named Chief Secretary for Wheat Production in the Agricultural Adjustment Administration by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On September 1, 1933, he was appointed Director of the Division of Subsistence Homesteads in the Department of the Interior. He helped to relocate rural families to urban areas until June 30, 1934. Roosevelt named him Assistant Secretary of Agriculture and promoted him in 1937 to be Undersecretary of Agriculture. He reamined there until February 1, 1940, when Roosevelt appointed him Director of Extension Work at USDA. He served in that role until 1949.
Wilson Hall houses the departments of English, history, math, Native American studies, philosophy, political science, and sociology. The Native American Cultural Center, Math Learning Center, and Writing Center are also located here. It underwent a $65,000 classroom renovation in 2011, and a $300,000 renovation to the Writing Center in 2012 enlarged and added windows to it. The trees north of Wilson Hall were cut down in 2013 to make room for the new Jabs College of Business, which will begin construction in 2014.
Hamilton Hall was built in 1910 as a women's dormitory. Omnipresent local architect Fred Willson designed the four-and-a-half story structure in the Mission Revival style. It was named for Emma Hamilton, wife of MSU President James Hamilton, who died in 1909. For years, it was the only on-campus student residence available. It had no room numbers; every room was named for the first woman to live there. Men were barred from any area except the lobby. Any time a man came to call on a young woman, a bell would ring on her floor and she would have to come down to meet him. In summer 1943, Hamilton Hall housed about 100 women training for military nursing duty. The nurses were moved into empty frat houses (all the young men were at war), and Hamilton Hall was used by young men training for the U.S. Army Air Corps.
Hamilton Hall was turned into offices in 1967. It was almost demolished in the 1980s, after university officials considered a plan to build an underground museum and office tower on the site.
In 2009, Hamilton Hall underwent a $1 million structural stabilization and renovation project. Additional structural problems were discovered, and another $2 million added to the budget.
The foundations and interior wood framing for the first and second floors were completely demolished. An additional four feet of soil beneath the building was excavated, and a new concrete foundation installed that met current earthquake standards. A new steel frame was installed on the first and second floors, and the floor structures attached to the exterior brick walls to enhance earthquake survivability. The first and second floors were restored to historic accuracy, removing interior alterations made over the years. Structural reinforcements were also made to the second, third, and fourth floors (all of which were sagging).
At some point, the structure's original north stairs were removed and modern stairs constructured. The modern stairs were now removed, and a historically accurate replacement installed.
The renovation also cleaned, repaired, repointed, and sealed the exterior masonry; replaced the 1910 single-pane windows and doors with energy efficient ones in a historic style; replaced the electrical, HVAC, and mechanical systems; and made landscaping changes to improve drainage and prevent water infiltration into the foundation.
As of 2013, Hamilton Hall houses Gallatin College (a community college within the college) and the Air Force and Army ROTC programs.
A ghost allegedly haunts Hamilton Hall's fourth floor.
Excerpt from the First State of the Nation Address of President Elpidio Quirino delivered on January 24, 1949:
"My first concern was to complete the restoration of peace and order and to strengthen our people’s morale and confidence in the government. My first act in this direction was to order the reduction in the price of Class E rice, then selling at one peso, to eighty-five centavos a ganta. This order reduced the cost not only of other grades of rice but also of other essential commodities whose price structure is dependent on the cost of rice.
Then I made the first of my visits to the troubled areas in Central Luzon. Here the dissident elements were terrorizing the population with kidnappings and depredations. They were preying for food and other necessities upon the poor people of Pampanga, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija and Tarlac, the very people whose interests they were pretending to protect, whose welfare they were professing to promote. That tour elicited the offer of cooperation from the leader of the dissident elements. It resulted eventually, with your concurrence, in the issuance of an Amnesty Proclamation."

Below is the history of Rhoda Derry taken from the book "Bittersweet Memories: A History of the Peoria State Hospital"
Rhoda Derry was born in Adams County. She was the daughter of a wealthy farmer and she was a strikingly handsome girl. While still in her teens, she was wooed by the son of a neighboring farmer. The young man's family were apposed to the match. In order to prevent the young couple from marrying, the young man's mother visited the girl and threatened to bewitch the girl if she didn't release him from the engagement. The girl was so terrified by the mother's threat that she started to display all the signs of a person possesed by an evil spirit.
One night shortly after the threat, Rhoda came home, jumped on the bed and stood on her head spinning around like a top and declared that the "Old Scratch" was after her. For a short time she was cared for by her relatives but was eventually sent to the Adams County Poor House. She remained there for 40 years.
The inhumane treatment of the poor girl at the Adams County Poor House is unparalleled. For many years she lived in a basket lined with straw and cared for by other feeble minded patients. During this time her legs drew up until her knee nearly touched her chin. Her muscles became so atrophied it was impossible for her to move her legs or her hips.
After years passed the basket was replaced with wooden box with holes for wastes to pass through in to a pan beneath the box. Mice and other vermin crawled into the box, made nests and raise their families next to the poor woman.
With her long fingernails she was scratch at her eyes until she was blind. With her fists she would beat her face until her front teeth were knocked out. She had also lost her ability to speak. When placed on the floor she would hop along like a toad. In 1904 she was taken from these surrounding and placed in the Bartonville Asylum. She was taken to the hospital for woman where she was bathed regularly and slept between clean white sheets.
Established in 1922, the Belchertown State School for the Feeble Minded was opened as an institution for the mentally "defective".
"Residents of Belchertown State School (occasionally referred to in the press as “inmates”) were crowded into wards; privacy was totally lacking".
"In many buildings, the air was characteristically foul with the smell of urine, feces and body odors".
“Many [residents], especially those who are less capable and tend to be incontinent, are given inadequate showers in large groups or are showered quickly one after another with one attendant undressing residents, another attendant or a more capable resident in the shower giving them a summary washing and usually a more proficient resident giving them an equally insuffient drying. Multiply-handicapped residents are placed on a porcelain slab and sprayed with a garden hose”.
“Parts of the living quarters at Belchertown are in violation of the State Sanitary Code. Because of lack of screens, flies have infested several buildings to the extent that fly larvae (maggots) have been found nested in a sore of a resident's ear”.
“Cockroaches have been chronic, ever present and in the recent past, have overrun several buildings to the extent of crawling over immobile patients.”
“Cacophony was everywhere. In such brutal environments, made worse by overcrowding, grunts, groans, crying, shrieking, screaming, and constantly operating television sets combined to produce noise that reached harmful decibel levels. Was it any wonder that more than seventy percent of the residents had hearing disabilities?"
“Due to lack of screening, residents have fallen 15-20 feet over second story railings to the ground”.
“As to food, until recently, the entire meal was served to many residents mixed in a single metal bowl".
“None of the physicians on the staff, save one, were licensed to practice medicine except in the Massachusetts state mental hospitals and Massachusetts state schools. To underscore the seriousness of this matter, practicing lawyers emphasized that for any unlicensed physician to dispense even an aspirin just outside an entrance to an institution operated by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health could invite a malpractice lawsuit".
- All quotes from "Crimes Against Humanity: A Historical Perspective" by Benjamin Ricci (2004), the man behind the class action lawsuit that finally closed the Belchertown State School in 1992.

Delaware State Police
Dodge Charger
Picture Date: 09/15/2009
I believe this was the very first Dodge Charger the Delaware State Police received. Two differences between this unit and all others are the clear lenses on its lightbar versus the red/blue and the curved graphic in the rear versus the straight line.

This picture was taken during the funeral procession for Patrolman Chad Spicer of the Georgetown Police Department in Delaware who was shot and killed in the line of duty.
This was prior to the Delaware State Police marking their K-9 units with decals. The only way to tell back then was by the tinted windows.
