I’m including this photo of yesterday’s family gathering at our house not because of the shot of me (trust me, I would’ve chosen something more flattering) but just to point out that there aren’t nearly enough screened porches in the new generation of McMansions being built in the south.
More random Monday stuff:
- RIP Jim Carroll. I hope that someone apologized for that film adaptation of your book before you died.
- On Toronto’s 1950s motel row.
- The redesigned print version of the Winston-Salem Journal is without a doubt one of the biggest piles of crap I’ve ever seen. It looks like a weekly paper from some small town in West Virginia rather than a metropolitan daily. I remain a big supporter of local print journalism, but they’re making it really hard with this “less content, same price” mentality.
It’s a great porch. I’m so glad I got to see it a couple of years ago. 🙂
xxoo
We had them in every house we lived in when I was growing up in the Midwest as well. You don’t see them there much now either.
