My mother is excited about watching the Lifetime TV movie about Nelly Bly - Escaping the Madhouse. She's been interested in Bly since reading the tagged book. The book was written by my friend and neighbor, Judy Berdy. I told my mom that Judy had made a holiday display for the Island gift shop that included Asylum for the Insane mugs. She asked me to buy her some, "before they sell out". Ha! I finally remembered to get them today.
JazzFeathers I really like this series of vintage photos books. Never saw this one, though. 5y
VioletBramble @JazzFeathers My mother has a small collection of the Images of America books. I have a few of the New York City ones, including Roosevelt Island - which is where I live. The asylum for the insane that Nelly Bly investigated was on the island. It's an apartment building now. 5y
