The Blue House: Done over (unfortunately) by the 'authorities' to act as office and social center; staffed by a few strange elderly people who protect the place like their own fiefdom and who portray only 'official' history; no sidetracks, no detours, and nothing not correct and pleasant. Those 'charming, charming' old days. But WHY IS IT that, once they get their hands on it, the funding authorities, the 'History Commissions' and the usual governmental agencies always staff these places with soulless salaried bureaucrats and, even worse, 'Volunteers' whose idea of History is to sanitize and maim every real fact and each piece of reality as it once REALLY was. Everything in turn is then transformed into joyful pabulum and sentimental stupdity. Crafts-fairs, doily exhibits and cookie-bakes.Posted by Picasa
