And so I’ve reached the corridor between the 1954 built part and the 1980 built part. The old part is up front. The corridor led straight into a small lobby. So we’re starting with showers? Interesting. “Don’t leave useless stuff on the shelf”, says the cat. The room to the other direction looked a bitContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part V”

I Prefer This Over Coffee Part IV
Now moving on to Annintupa. Obviously this ward was for women. This ward was by far the largest so far. The purpose of this room was a bit unclear. A closer look at the paintings. I think these are oats. The first one of the patient rooms. It was as if the patient just leftContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part IV”
In Good Care Part V
The following morning I had breakfast with my friend’s family the long way. We sat in the morning sun on the terrace with no horry having coffee. But eventually it was time to head towards new adventures. This was my first photo, because here I noticed the first difference since my previous visit. Massive pilesContinue reading “In Good Care Part V”
The Oldest Was The Most Lasting
Another familiar looking sight: an old municipal home enlarged and turned into a nursing home, when a nearby mental asylum was completed and the mentally ill were moved there. As the area is full of active social and health care buildings, we start our tour from the back. The old part built in 1953 wasContinue reading “The Oldest Was The Most Lasting”
The Sleigh Rides Are Over
Back in February 2015 I was again covering winter holidays at a regional newspaper, when my boss asked me to cover an event. The inhabitants of a nursing home for old people had asked to be able to get a sleigh ride for one more time. So the nursing home arranged the event. The 40Continue reading “The Sleigh Rides Are Over”
A Midsummer Date Part XIX
I regularly Google all kinds of things related to demolition. That’s how I’ve found a lot of locations. One of the biggest gold mines I found, was the property strategy of a small, rural municipality. There was a list of everything they would sell and demolish during the future years. The list was so long,Continue reading “A Midsummer Date Part XIX”
Miksi ovet ei aukene meille?
What is this? A Finnish title? Why? Well, that is actually the title of a Finnish Romani Song. A direct translation of the beginning of its lyrics would be something like “Why won’t the doors open for us, is our race to blame for this?” When I started writing this post, the song started playingContinue reading “Miksi ovet ei aukene meille?”
There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part XVI
As I promised, this will be the final post from this location and this adventure overall. We found a second kitchen. This one was blueish with a red floor. Moving further along the corridor. A second kitchen. The stove doesn’t look very healthy. The black thing on the roof is most likely mold. There areContinue reading “There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part XVI”
There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part XV
A photo of the main building from the courtyard. As you can see, the old, wooden municpal home was built on a hill. The new main building was built on the side of the hill and the ground floor is partially underground. There was even a small upstairs in the old main building, but weContinue reading “There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part XV”
There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part XIV
Another look at the room with the glass boxes. I really can’t figure out what those are. Even this part of the building had one room with a bathroom and shower. A carton of milk. It was called consumer milk before 1996, when the EU legistlation forced a name change to full milk. This cartonContinue reading “There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part XIV”
