comp titles challenge: practical magic meets the old west, suggested by @youareiron-andyouarestrong
two very different sisters living with their elderly aunts are their small town's local witches. they provide insight, charms, and a hex or two if you need. when one of the sisters gets involved with a man who treats her wrong, well, things have to be dealt with.
the town's new sheriff is awful interested not only the missing man, but those tonics the locals have. when he shows up at their door, one witch may find her heart black heart still beats.

Sad news about Rocky and the Railroad Ramblers
I can't remember if we've featured these guys on our blog before, but I can't help but think we probably have. They're one of the most well-known cyberamic retrofits of all time, due in no small part to the man who's been the show's tech for the past decade, Andrew.
I'm not going to go into detail about the show or its past here, but I am going to announce to those of you who don't know that Gillian's Wonderland Pier is going to be closing after their 2024 season, i.e. this October. This means that Rocky and the Railroad Ramblers will be ramblin' on to new pastures, as their home since 1992 is shutting its doors for good.
It's a real shame that Gillian's Wonderland Pier is closing. It's been on the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ since 1929, which is 95 years to you and me. It's a huge part of the community there, and residents are dismayed that the park is going the way of the dodo.
As for the Ramblers, well, Andrew is allegedly trying to secure a new home for them. At least, that's the rumor that's been going around. The owner of the park is Ocean City Mayor Jay Gillian, so needless to say, he's got HUGE ties with the community. I think that Andrew has a fair shot of being sold the show if he's able to find a place for them to go (either in storage or somewhere to display them).
It's a bummer that the show seems to not be at its best in its final hours at the park. Hank (the dalmatian) in particular appears to be in pretty rough shape. Hopefully Andrew will have time to give them a spit shine so their final performance at Gillian's Wonderland Pier can be one to remember!

It’s amazing the places that love will carry you. It’s astounding just how far you’re willing to go.

Two Practical Magic pieces for a Halloween treat! I love this movie so much, it’s got such great atmosphere and such a beautiful sibling dynamic between Sally and Gilly.
Happy Halloween!!
