It’s a righting of a huge historic preservation wrong. Entirely defensible, and in fact a form of restitution.
That explains the casual ulu reference (had to look it up).
Discovering that you made the bed before you left. (I realize some folks always make the bed. I am not one of those folks).
When a hole in the sewer line in my 1860 house caused my plumber to note that he might have to replace the line from the basement through two floors and to the stack on the roof, I thought to myself, “I have got to get out of here.” Sold it shortly thereafter (had been there 17 years).
My mother-in-law has a letter from Stephen Sondheim thanking her for writing to let him know that the poor acoustics at Sweeney Todd did not do his show justice.
I got out before that happened, sold to an acquaintance who owns a tons of historic property in my town, has plenty of financial resources. A few months after I sold, the OTHER septic line (which is not in the town maps) backed up into the basement!
Historic preservationists would have lots to say here, namely that the destruction of the historic east wing was a violation of hist. pres. guidelines/laws/standards, & tearing down the ballroom would be a 1st step in rectifying that tragedy. I’m sure the folks at NPS would be glad to weigh in.
You know what’s all natural? Foodborne pathogens
Nice to see MA (where I live now) and WI where I went to college in the list. Always wished Madison wasn’t so far from the east, my favorite (small, yes) city for sure.
RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter
