after about 5 minutes of us being there, a man came out of the house. naturally, i approach him. it turned out that he's the current occupant and owner. he bought it in 1999 and remodeled the interior in 2001 after the movie was filmed. he said when the movie first came out he used to get a lot of people coming by, and now he'll get a few here and there. he was very cautious when speaking to us, and we had to pry every word out. after he left to go climb up the scaffolding i look down to my jeans and notice that they're covered with a clay dust from me kneeling on the railing trying to get pictures inside of the house. no wonder he was so cautious, he probably thought we were obsessed freaks.

So, this is how you're spending your final days in the big city? Very nice. They tend to knock down the old houses (the "un-flippable")and proceed to build one of the 6 floor plans available. I hope you didn't frighten the owner too much, he's probably looking out the window right now...
the cemetery in royal tenenbaums is down the street from me. someday when you're older i'll take you there.
Good for people to know.
