|2=Christina Morris happily remembers Sunday morning breakfasts with her grandparents, followed by visits to the peaceful cemeteries on the grounds of the Peoria State Hospital, where some family members are buried. “My interest with the state hospital started when I was about 7 years old,” Morris said in a recent interview. “When I would come onto the grounds (my grandfather) would say that this was a place of special people. (By special) I thought he meant giants, because these buildings were so big and beautiful and immaculate to me. I just was enamored by how beautiful it was.”
+
|2=The future of the [[Mayview State Hospital]] site should come into focus in a couple of weeks as the state Department of General Services is expected to choose one of two redevelopment proposals.

+
|2=Wednesday night Allentown officials and residents expressed their frustration with the state's decision to close the [[Allentown State Hospital]]. The state says it's about the bottom line, but some city council members are worried the state hospital closure will affect much more.
−
|2=Not too long ago, more than 60,000 people were sterilized in the United States based on eugenic laws. Most of these operations were performed before the 1960s in institutions for the so-called “mentally ill” or “mentally deficient.” In the early 20th century across the country, medical superintendents, legislators, and social reformers affiliated with an emerging eugenics movement joined forces to put sterilization laws on the books.

|2=The campus is sprawling and mostly empty.  Huge old hospital buildings with segregation-era labels like "white male receiving building" are rapidly decaying from disuse.  The empty buildings are gothic, moldering monuments to a time when this place housed and treated the desperately ill - and filled other, less noble purposes.
