Streetscape and Memory

I am taking my title from Simon Schama’s classic Landscape and Memory, but my inspiration comes from a brief cocktail party conversation a few weeks ago. I was the host of this particular party, so I was hopping around and really only getting snippets of conversation, but I woke up the next morning with a very clear memory of a bit of discussion between a film historian and a maritime…

Sorry guys. I couldn't find any "Marron Ave" or Street, so this'll have to do.

I found another Chestnut Street (this time in brown and not green) to honor the daughter of Earth's Strongest Human. I know, not original. But I promise to keep a lookout for a Marron specific street/avenue/road/etc.

Maybe I'll have better luck in France.

Sidenote: I find a lot of Chestnut Streets where I live. I always feel like I'm in a scavenger hunt looking for Chestnut or 18th streets in my home state of . . .

Wouldn't you like to know?

Au revoir!

Ok. I waited 2 years before checking the Eaymond Chestnut & Five character tag on Ao3. I was very patient. So can someone explain why no one else has written the 'Hazel sends five a couple months back instead of a couple DAYS back and five goes to live with Allison but has to pretend to be her little brother because she is NORMAL that you very much and we get amazing five+allison+ray meal interactions and five's general existsnce only furthers Allison's friend's secret theory that she escaped a cult and he will NOT go to school but he does keep dragging weirder and weirder Other Guys (brothers?) to the Chestnut household and what if he gets there just before the wedding because he would cry like an old sap if he got to go to Allison's wedding and he keeps writing math on the walls and just WON'T stop and Ray has watched Allison try to explain that stealing is bad even if you don't get caught and this ALSO perpetuates the cult theory and Ray tries to hire a sitter for the kid when Allison ans him have a meeting at oddessa's to attend but five just laughs at him and he looks at Allison for help but she is ALSO laughing and-

The Salem Tercentenary, 1926

As I’ve been finishing up the manuscript of our 4o0th anniversary volume, Salem’s Centuries, I’ve been writing and thinking about Salem’s 300th anniversary quite a bit. For some reason I thought that I had already posted about this big event on this unwieldly blog, but I haven’t. Quite a lot is out there—the archivists at the Salem State University Archives and Special Collections oversee an…
