Did you know that the US government’s third-largest agency is ramping up a 20-year, $US4.5 billion construction project that will turn the grounds of a former mental hospital into an “elaborate” headquarters for its sprawling network of agencies? It’s already a decade behind schedule and $US1 billion over budget.
In Bloomberg Businessweek, Devin Leonard describes his tour of the grounds of St Elizabeths Hospital, in Anacostia, Maryland (in the 1850s, it was known as “the Government Hospital for the Insane”). The 176-acre campus is scattered with abandoned buildings, some of which are completely rotted out, since someone forgot to turn the heat off when the last St Elizabeths patients were relocated in the 1960s....

A good place to raise demons.
Thank you for the ping.
This seems quite appropriate to me, except for the $1Bn over budget and 10 years behind schedule.
They should hurry it up, so that we can get them all in one place and lock them in.
They want that total nut job SheeJack, the queen with the crown weave, the “freed slave” who arrived
here in America “in chains,” and who thinks that the astronauts planted a US flag on Mars, to head it?
Gag me.
Someone please stop this woman before she speaks again.
LOL! Yeah, that! Perfect image!
It will soon be a fully staffed and inhabited insane asylum.
Was it an asylum for the criminally insane, I wonder.
