At the historic cemetery where I serve as a guide the first and most important rule is; “Thou Shalt Not Make Anything Up”. We don’t. We don’t have to. The truth is almost always stranger than fiction.
I didn’t know about Vic Van Streck, but I do know that March 11th is the birthday of the late, great Douglas Adams (“The Hitch-hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”).
The organ, plus everything in the Grand Court, is preserved by Historic Preservation Law. Yes, I still miss the late, great (and very witty) Keith Chapman. The organ is almost a living thing. Someone will have to play it.
Oh, I know. I used to work at Wanamaker’s, back when the family owned it,and into the early days of Carter Hawley Hale. The eagle is still there and will always be there because of a historic preservation law. I’ve learned a lot about historic preservation law since my days at Wanamaker’s.
Same here. I was in Center City the day after the Eagles won their first Super Bowl. It broke my heart to see the damage done to the Wanamaker building, especially when you consider that the original store’s mascot was an eagle!
In some cemeteries, it still is. I’m a guide at a historic cemetery in Philadelphia.In addition to the tours, we sponsor movie nights, concerts, bird-watching, and special family events. And yes, the cemetery has many picnic tables.
I think you mean “Addams Family” with two Ds. Gomez and Morticia, not John and Abigail.
