All these hospitals closed down and mentally ill people were put on the streets. The answer wasn’t shutting down hospitals, it was that they should have been made better.

Plus, it’s not abandoned. They offer tours.

We did a ghost tour but it shut down to patients in the 90s

All of the patients from this hospital got moved to a new one like four miles away.
