Here at 518 we have many memories that will last a lifetime! The story behind this retrospective is simple.  During Christmas break 2005, Mike was digging thru "the archives" at his house at 558 Northfield Drive Youngstown, New York and he found the following photographs.  These images were taken by Mike sometime during the final weeks of May 2001.  This is 518 in its final days....in raw silence.  No parties, no people present just all the classic scenes/areas in which memories seem to jump out of each picture and.......ok i'm overdoing it here but hey.....thats me....thats Mike....after all "I am Art Vandelay, I am an Importer/Exporter".  So here they are the men, the moments and the mystique that is 518.  In the words of Cosmo Kramer...."Giddy-Up!"

P.S. Schrems are you still "Master of your domain?!?!?!?!"

Several classic things appear in this pic.  First is the huge floppy disk to the left, the bathroom door, and the top two shelves.  Matt's shelf is second from the top and Mike's shelf is the top one.  Stevo and Cason were in position of these shelves as of Summer 2005

This pic is for Stef with and F.  Stef....note the way that the fridge/microwave/TV is slanted to the right.  This is how it sat on the floor.  As Chris always notes the water would congregate near a outlet on the floor behind the fridge. This is a view from the living room.

The bathroom at 518.  Believe me this is the cleanest that it ever appeared.  The toilet is to the right and is not pictured where Cason met his Squirrel.  Also note "Weapons Storage"  Inside all of your names were listed.  Note the classic 518 shower curtain to the left.

Last and surely not least here is Casons room so all your Cason fans can see it in its glory during the Final Days of 518.

 

One of the final 518 Parties

Schrems and Stevo thinking that any man who has been involved in over 1,700 porn films must be one of the "greatest men who ever lived!"

In these pics we see Matt's Marilyn Monroe impression in the left pic and Stevo trying to shut the door with Cason's 1,000 friends trying to get in.

The pic in the middle is a much better pic and we were ready for the flash.  Note the drunkeness on our faces....yes it is genuine.

The third pic made me cringe.  If I ever get that big again please shoot me.  I guess that is what McDonalds, Taco Bell, Wendys, Burger King, Pisenellos and tons of beer does to a college man.  Note what I used as a container for my beer.  I still use that container but it is currently reserved for Lemonade!
