I smell a screenplay here.
Did you actually get to go inside?? For some reason the piece on Chopstick Charley’s led me here again and I got to enter the delicious creep and spook of it again. “Before the ghosts that aren’t quite memory, that aren’t quite history, since those whose memories this history belonged to are gone, who were the Heston boys’ childhood ghosts? Childhoods always feature ghosts, because children, being new, can’t otherwise imagine the world that came before them. What loves and losses have the trees absorbed invisible on this 1797 Spanish land grant? Who did the boys think they saw in the woods outside their windows at night, or down off the rippling reflections of moonlight on the waters?” I wonder what those bachelors did for money.
