MERCY HOSPITAL - E-25TH-ST X S-PRAIRIE-AVE - MAP

As I was on my way back into town from Ray’s I stopped by a big building that had some car parks and open spaces around it. I dropped into streetview and had a look round.

Mercy hospital looks just like how I imagine an American hospital to be. Beige and confident, full of buxom, firm, red haired nurses and doctors with caring voices and strange narcotic dependencies. I’ve never really watched E.R. or even scrubs so my US hospital clichés are still feeding off Quincy

Kay Frederick stuck the print up by the Hospital at night. She later wrote “The 47th & Prairie was VERY sketchy :(  but I had also run out of tape. ” I always expect the area around a hospital to be safe. But I guess it’s practical to have nasty stuff there so you can just wheel in the victims if it all gets a bit bloody.
