   Yep.  Edgefield Manor, to be exact.   Some great stories about that place   
   are reflected in the murals.  With an old building like that, ghost stories   
   are a given whether there's anything to 'em or not, but it had an a really   
   creepy occult/satanist group hanging out there before the McMens bought it.   
   At one point the ceiling sagged so low you couldn't walk standing upright on   
   one of the floors, and there was all kinds of gurneys and old medical   
   equipment laying in there so all the kids that used to sneak into it thought   
   it was an insane asylum.   
      
   When the Satanists were kicked out, they set fire the the power station,   
   which is the theater now.  That must have been 1988 or 1989.   So if you're   
   strolling the halls pay attention to the murals, and if you look in the   
   stairwell and the little unfinished corners and crannies of the building,   
   you'll see evidence of occult presence.   
      
   They just had a HUGE outdoor concert there.  Busiest I've ever seen the   
   place.
