Hi. Stumbled over you on Instagram, started listening to the podcast and I am HOOKED.
Trying to keep current and also backtrack. Episode 39 mentions the Deep Cut estate. Thought you might appreciate the fact that it is now a public park. Robber barons give libraries, regular robbers give parks.
Alpha, shalom, sayonara, buhbye
