This is from last August...but I just saw it in my FB feed tonight for some reason. So this may be old news to some of you...but if you were a former Martin resident and haven't seen the updates check this out.

I was in the Dungeon in the 90s. I can't believe how nice it is now.

Damn Gina

You mean, no more 20x20 tiled open room with 12 shower heads?! Kids are such snow flakes these days!

That's gonna make the prank of throwing ice cold water over the top of the shower curtain a lot less fun.

I was on 2 north in '91 and my son just finished his freshman year in the dungeon. It is WAY nicer than when I was there but still a dorm. The shower room accually has stalls!

Still looks like the place all the nerds live.

As a former CL in penland, I can say we had the cafeteria which made us the best -- amiright ?!?! we owned all!!! and nothing was as depressing as the original brooks hall. Lived there my freshman year and the only thing I like about it was the implied safety due to its munitions bunker-esq design. would have made for a great tornado proof structure should the 1950s return to waco...

Was in Penland early 80s - nothing special. I was ok with it when they added a Defender machine to the lobby.

No curtains in Martin

Someone in housing apparently thought it a good idea to put me as close to Moody Library as possible during my Baylor tenure, so I was housed in the Riverside Apartments. It was also close to Russell Hall and wayward chicks really appreciated the discreet backdoor entrance.

DEFENDER?!?!?! Must've bought it from The Golden Cue when that place closed.

Kokernot didn't have anything nearly that nice.

Not in my experience, they didn't.

Kokernot n 69,70 had nothing, but we survived somehow, wow, we became men and became successful n life, wow, you deal with it and move on, Amen?

I spent 3 years on the fourth floor of old Brooks. No elevators, fire escapes, cafeteria, lobby or other fancy extras. We did have maid service, and electricity "most of the time" unless more than 4 guys decided to blow dry their hair at the same time (it was the 70's).
