...so you should all take a quick look at it.

These are pictures of the area I grew up in.

The castle-like building (actually the burned ruins of Staten Island Hospital #1- my mom used to work there) is right down the street from my old house- you could see it from the living room. It's not even a block away.

I used to go to school with the kid who lived in the "magnificent building on Cebra Avenue." I wound up with a bunch of t-shirts he'd ordered by accident one day, and Mom drove me over there so I could give them back. We always called that house "The Gingerbread House."

And in this next set, which I was really excited to find, is a picture of Father Walstead's house- it's about seven pics down, dark red with a multi-windowed cupola. I spent hours in that thing; it was magical when I was a little kid and my mom would go over to visit him. The rest of the house is beautiful on the inside, too.

Thought you guys would get a kick of seeing where Feather originated :)

Incidentally, the movie "School of Rock" filled the concert scenes at the St. George Theater... I did NOT know that. Wow. Coolness.
