Every spot on the planet has outlasted countless characters, endured endless environmental evolutions and listened to limitless lore. People, families and generations come and go on the same spot. Events unfold on spots. All kinds of events, forever... both ways. The only thing that never moves is the spot.

 

            Historians do what they can but who are they compared to a spot? To a spot, time is irrelevant; it never began and it will never end. Our personal perspective pales to the place's. We shout what's big and whisper what's not but to a spot it's just another dot in time. Every spot knows every one of its stories and duly notes their insignificance.

 

            ​ The real estate this speck in time has given us the opportunity to occupy has its own perpetually unfolding story. That's the thing about spots, all of them, their stories never stop. Unfortunately, most are never told. It's on us to tell what piddly portion we've seen and learned while passing through.  

 

            This endeavor is a modest stab at telling the story of some things our spot has seen... so far as I can tell.
