A. D. German Warehouse

A new owner has bought the German Warehouse in Wisconsin. This is a building that was never finished or never really occupied in the almost 100 years it has existed. It was designed to have a restaurant on the roof. Some people believe Wright was born in a house on the west side of warehouse. The house was demolished in the late 50's by the City since it had become a hazard. A number of the older residents of Richland Center at the time, felt the house was the Wright birthplace. Wright never revealed where he thought he was born, or perhaps, he never knew where he was born in Richland Center. It was a unique warehouse, or is it just a big box store? http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/homegarden/220098301.html

August 16th

Today is the anniversary of the death of Elvis in 1977. I have always wondered why this registers so heavily with people. Babe Ruth also died on this day. Was it because Elvis may have died on the toilet? All week, there have been articles on the death of the king of rock and roll. Today is also the anniversary of the crash of the airliner going from Detroit to Phoenix in 1987. Only one little girl survived. They are releasing a movie called Sole Survivor about people that survive plane crashes. May they all rest in peace.....
