	Janice Reminds me of the movie Oscar and Lucinda when Ralph Fiennes dies in a glass house that has been hauled up the river. Does anyone remember that scene or the move? Beautiful picture.

Janice Hi Long Island. Same thing in my local shopping center. The attendants come in with with young people in their teens and are transported in a mini-van. They seem to enjoy being in the store and are always treated with respect from the patrons of the store and from the staff. I have always had the belief that we are all God's precious creations, and that they are no different from us in his eyes. That's my opinion, anyway!!

Janice Hey, Cruiser, very interesting post! When my father realized that I was serious about getting my driver's license waaayy back when, he found a 1947 Studebaker for $100 to teach me how to drive. I loved that car! Column shift that most people today wouldn't know what to do with, and to this day, I could still drive it if I could! Can't remember what he did with it after I got my license. But I remember what a cool car it was! Thanks for the info!

	Janice I believe you, Big Ed. Please see my entry in the Forum "Why Are You Interested in These Abandoned Places." I lived in a mansion in Washington, D.c built around 1800 and was used as a hospital during the Civil War. I KNOW WHAT I HEARD!! You are absolutely right! Condos are not going to make any difference to whoever walked there!!

	Janice Motts, so sad! Is this true! Same slate and cupolas as Danvers! What a tragedy!! Glad we have this site!

	Janice The exquisite colors of the red bricks, the slate roofs, the green of the copper fittings, the mist in the background, the cuplos, the rust colored trees, the pebbled roof top. Such a beautiful but heartbreaking shot. All of Motts' shots of Danvers are heartbreaking beautiful, which will constantly remind me of what we lost!

	Janice Re Roody's comment on 2-14-06 and the web link to Dianne O'Dell. Can you imagine being imprisoned in an iron lung for 56 years and still have the life force to write her friends and write a children's book!! Thanks for the link.

	Janice bsmarcia -- my mother's parents were from Budapest. My Hungarian grandmother loved to tell me stories of when she was a little girl -- she said they absolutely put garlic on the front door of the home to ward off vampires!! Of course, she probably had too much goulash - but I believed her!!

	Janice This is a terrible update. What sickos get their jollies from setting fires?

	Janice I purchased "Wisconsin Death Trip" several years ago. No, it wasn't much fun in those days. So many babies (and mothers) died in childbirth or at a very young age. The pictures of the deceased children are the most heartbreaking. But it was "the thing to do" back then having pictures taken of your deceased loved ones! The book is absolutely worth a "look see."

	Janice Well, jolly good for England!! Hip Hip Hooray!! Too bad it doesn't apply to ths side of the pond where they could care less and bulldoze everything. It must be a MAN thing!!
