Hi, I'm Marilyn. Â I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile. Â It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here. Â I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends. Â Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time. Â Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!! Â Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet. Â You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long. Â Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

I'm not sure which way we're going home, but of course my vote is always for the coast. :P Maybe we'll stop and see this place!

Hostel comes from the same root as "hospital"---a place where people are cared for. But it always made me laugh that it sounds like "hostile"---like you open the door and people shout "what the f--- do YOU want!!!" Dumb jokes aside, I love that you gave this description and history: I didn't know this went back so far. Nor that a place like this could actually play a role in building roads and routes. I'm glad you did it in two uploads too, because we got to see the strange mysterious beauty of the place, and then read about its history. Btw, the plaque says Mrs. DeMartin was known for her "warm hospitality and excellent baking": I'm sure that was so, but the idiot comic in me couldn't resist...I'd give anything if they'd written "Mrs. DeMartin was known for her warm hospitality and incredible tricks: For 50 bucks you could get a blow job that'd leave you speechless..." Or (was that going to far? will you be banned from the site because of me?), "Mrs. DeMartin was known for her warm hospitality and incredibly deadly baking: 300 people died from her rolls alone, in 1892. In '86, she baked a killer bread that wiped out 14 families, and an apple pie that felled every known horse within 3 counties. What horses were doing eating apple pie, we don't know. And you know those 'sheep, cattle and hogs' that once grazed her land? Dead too, from her fritters. Also, their dog hated the Irish. (I mean reeeallllly hated.) And they had antisemitic mice. And their stove used to make cheap jokes about the Chinese..."......Well I've offended everyone, here, but when you post a sign like this, I can't resist. If you want me to take this down, I will. Still, I'd pay to see a sign like that. Ya just don't see signs like that often enough...I love the history, in any case. So much history in a small house...
