I have no idea (don't watch TV). I would perhaps guess the bigger, grander home, since big and expensive is probably more likely to attract public attention, but that's just a guess. Aren't you going to tell us the stories behind them?Quote:

Ha.....You kids are very amusing. I unintentionally omitted the fact that the ww1-era stone mansion is associated with a prominent citizen of the area, during the first half of the 20th century. The smaller home, with the rock front, is notorious as the scene of a crime. Look up: The unsolved case of the three missing women. Those two structures are located in the S.E.-Central part of the city, about 10 miles from mee.. Yup. The mansion is presently a law office. Hope that helps you some. Thankk Mee.
The prominent Citizen bought a large tract of land on what was then the edge of the city, donated some of it to what is now the state U money pit, and named the street in front of the mansion, which is now a major business thoroughfare. The mansion backs up to a 'hood that is old-but-fashionable. Lots of Libs, live around there, in what they call: "Craftsman Bungalows". But, there is a big old 3-story house that is stigmatized, between the state U money pit, and the houses I just showed you. Yup. Anyway, He(the guy with the rock mansion) co-founded Route 66, too. But, guess what? He only lived in that mansion a coupla years, then sold it. Prolly was too creepy, living there. Isn't that interesting?
Here's a bonus--a photo of the other stigmatized house,near the state U. A prominent citizen lived there, and her DH was murdered by her BIL, over a dispute about $$. Yup. The home was bright white,for a long time. Attachment 4293Attachment 4293
Okay---while we're down in that trendy, fashionable old neighborhood inhabited by libs(Dems always carry every election, there), here's yet another one. The scoop--a retired perfesser who had taught some very boring, useless subject nobody except Jeopardy contestants GAF about, was just sitting there, (prolly listening to NPR), and another perfesser who had gotten off his meds, broke in and stabbed the older guy to death, in front of his wife.. Yup. Apparently, the voices in his head told him to. As far as I know, his case is still in limbo. ETA: Astonishingly, after 5 years, they busted the assailant down to a charge of murder 2, but he hasn't stood trial. Un-be-lievable. The U likes to minimize the coverage of these incidents. They like to keep the gravy train rolling. At least, I think so. But, as far as I'm concerned, the whole place is stigmatized. Yup. Attachment 4294Attachment 4294
Okay---I just was notified about an upcoming concert. It will be held at an old(100 years) theater that took all of 25 years plus several million $$ to finally re-open as a venue for stuff. At least they didn't knock 'er down, and build yet another "convenience store" by those companies from I-wah. Ha. Anywaay, the show that will take place is an appearance by the Pop Grunge music group Daughtry. I may make an exception to my no-concert policy, and get a ticket(s). I can handle their music,because it is very musical, not just a bunch of noise. See? Now, the band is all-male, but what that means is that probably, a sizable % of the audience will be wimmin. I will see if Kraft Lady wants to go along. If not--I'll go myself. Yup. BTW, There's also another venue here, in a big old building called the Shrine Mosque, which is indestructible. That's why it is a popular venue for he-man ho-boy macho metal music, like 5 finger death punch and also Slipknot, Papa Roach, and all the other stuff like that. That way, the he-man ho-boy metal heads who HATE music that is pretty, can go in, stomp their feet, get in fights, bleed & puke all over, without doing any real damage. They also used to have those "Tough Man" contests there, until a contestant died, so they couldn't get insurance. Anyway, if the tickicks are priced decently, I may go and see Daughtry at the old restored Gillioz Theater. Wish mee luck.
Thankk Youu, this was an interesting read. It's so hard to believe that three woman vanished without a trace to this day.Quote:

Unfortunately, it is easy to make someone disappear, it is harder to keep the secret. The one that I used to play around, drained the bodies over the tub and put them out for the trash, displaying the skulls of his victims (and I believe their pocket knives, which is what brought me to his booth), at his booth at a local antique store.
You have another clown, who buried the bodies in their house (his mom worked with my late bosses mom).
Another "alleged" one, was never tried as his only escapee, said he tossed the bodies in the Missouri river. When he got out from bad check charges, that escapee disappeared and was never seen again. (and he was arrested again and died in prison from bad check charges)
I could go on about a few more I am too close to.
Okay---for clarification---the cases of the stigmatized properties are in Zurra, the We Mow State. Which reminds me--I gotta get out there today and test-run the mowers, chainsaws, weed-wackers, etc. in preparation for my never-ending war against encroaching vegetation. Winter is just a cease-fire in the hostilities. See? Okay---my references to I-wah are because I enjoy keeping track of the dumb stuff they do waaay up there. It is like an anthill, full of provincials of Dutch and Scandanavian ancestry. They keep everything tidy; it is their duty. Plus,say Ahhh-summ,A-may-zeen and Yup, all the time. Plus, drive-n-eat, as a form of recreation. Yup.
