I was in delray today,and the McMillan school is down.The back wall was the only thing left standing when I went by.Anyone know when it was closed?I seem to recall seeing a "school of excellence award"on the wall from 1998.

Last time I was there was in fall of 2006. It looked like a bomb detonated in the rear of the school, as a large part of the wall had exploded backwards.

Has anyone ever played the original Silent Hill for PSone? The school and it's surrounding neighborhood totally remind me of McMillan and it's surrounding neighborhood. I actually would go visit McMillan on cold, snowy nights and walk around the area, pretending to be in the game. It sounds creepy, and it really, really was, but I wanted the experience to be just like in the video game, and I wasn't dissapointed!

I've never played that game,but many places have that same feel.The packard in the winter has a very" b" movie vibe to it.I think the last time I was in McMillian was 2002/3?It was still pretty intact,the windows where out,but it still had a roof.
