"Well, not around here, I'm afraid."
And what IS the most popular cheese 'round here?
I grew up near there. My dad used to take me over to Taliesin, and we would just sit on the road in front of it, and talk about all this stuff (like Stalin's daughter, etc.).
If you look up this incident (the fire), it's bizarre to read because of the time that the news articles were written. They refer to the perp by his ethnicity, but not by name. It's very strange to ponder that people used to think that way.
Anyway, he asked whether it would be all right to clean some rugs with gasoline while the family had lunch. He was given permission, and the next thing they knew, he had locked them inside the house and was dousing it. A horrible story.
Yep. "Lambert" Field did him in. There is no recovering from that in my home state.
Do you remember the Kickapoo Oil Company?

Ack!
I live in Seattle now, but I still get cheese from home. Everyone here agrees it kicks the butt of Washington/Oregon cheese, and I can barely keep it "in stock". We order seven or eight pounds at a time, but we give a lot away...now everyone is spoiled.
Yeah...especially when you think of them, out there kind of isolated, Wright himself out of town...truly horrific.
Once a Wisco Chick, always a Wisco Chick!
I am deeply saddened that so many people think real cheese comes out of a spray can... *shudders*
People here are always a little skeptical when I tell them Wisconsin cheese is better, but I've made believers out of everyone I've offered it to.
