[Chat] Thanks for the Holiday House Tour!

[Emil Volcheck]

Hello, neighbors,

Kathleen and I had an enjoyable time on the Holiday House Tour.
Thanks to all those who helped make it happen (Dawna, Jenny, Val,
Sandy, and anyone else I've missed.)

We were particulary impressed by the Manzolillo household and all the
neat fixtures and art they have.

Did anyone notice the Coldwell-Banker sign several houses to the south
of the Manzolillo's that read "Drama Priced"?  What does that mean?

It was neat to meet Doreen Bolger, BMA Executive Director, who was
showing off her house, with its William Morris theme.

Incidentally, a week or so ago there was an open house at the Homewood
House.  They were hosting the JHU Press and had many authors on hand
for book signing.  They were serving Madeira in the basement, which I
read was a very popular beverage in the era of the original owners.
Wendy Brody, wife of the Hopkins President, was meeting and greeting
everybody who walked through the door, and it was a pleasure to meet
her.  I heard that there are occasional openings of Homewood House in
the evening by candlelight.  I think that would be quite pretty to
see.
