TBW Daily Diary

Pleasant day. Renewed acquaintances with some old customers thanks to the article in TheBurg. Breathing easier since the urgent order for the coffee collection was answered today . . . Pre-wrapped more bluebirds ($9.50) . . . we are burning one of Root's tangerine-lemongrass candles; what a pleasant aroma . . .

House Tour Addendum

Yesterday's post stirred a lot of memories; thanks for the e-mails. This year's tour on Dec. 13 has 22 official stops. Other places like The Bare Wall have become "unofficial but desirable" that people return to year after year. So how does that compare with the first tour in 1973? Well, there were only nine sites back then and for the record, here they are:
M/M Terry Summers, 711 South Front Street
Ronald Shepler, 631 South Front Street
Mary Rinehardt, 547 South Front Street
M/M Robert Young, 329 South Front Street
Cathedral House. St. Stephen's, 215 North Front Street
Office and apartment, 114 South Street
The Bare Wall, 712 Green Street
Harry Courtright, 218 Herr Street
Glenn residence, 224 Verbeke Street
