My old drunk neighbor tells me that the falling-down shack across the street built around a genuine historic caboose was actually the red light district of Bodega Bay at one time. Apparently owned and operated by Sally Stanford, extending her tentacles from Sausalito, so to speak.<BR/><BR/>I rummaged through miles of microfilm last year trying to verify it, and managed to trace the property back to the 1940s. Now maybe I'll pick up the threads again and see if I can find out whether it was true or not. <BR/><BR/>But really, just being able to say that the heap of junk across the street used to be the town's red light district may be reward enough.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to visit the house formerly known as Nutwood in person, some day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19735408.post-11512035894379507372008-09-20T09:34:00.000-04:002008-09-20T09:34:00.000-04:00Scaife was in a think tank with Anne Coulter once,...Scaife was in a think tank with Anne Coulter once, you know.
