Right outside my home until 1987. . And this was my sitting room. As it was in 1927. And as it looks today.
I cant help but wonder just how many chickens the world goes through every year and does it out number wild chickens?
I'm of the understanding that a chicken is a tropical bird, domesticated in the same manner as cattle and bananas through selective breeding. Given the penchant men have for diddling with things I'm wondering if there are any wild chickens left at all.
Fun fact (yeah, can't help myself): <brother> I want some land. Enough to have some critters. Goats, even some chickens. <dad> Why in he!! would you want chickens?! <me> To teach his grandbabies how to walk! At this point, my brother spews his coffee cross the room, which seems to happen a lot when I answer questions around here. Dad gets up, hitches up his pants and shambles out of the room muttering something about "....where'd I go wrong with these kids....?"
Could you see the Dominion theater, another of my buildings. It had the longest ever film run in London. Imagine walking into your local cinema and asking to book a ticket to see the film in 1926,
The Sound of Music played over here at the Eastland Twin Cinema for over a year, and mom took me to see it just about every week. I loved it. When it stopped playing there, it went straight to the old Lowe's Theatre, and old Vaudville-era establishment near downtown Columbus, Ohio that had a Morton Theatre Organ rising up out of the floor as part of the intro for any movie or act playing there. It was awesome. I later read that the guy who played that organ wrote his own pieces for it. The architecture was amazing in that place. It's now called The Ohio Theater. I wonder if kids these days appreciate any of these old artistic places....?
