That’s a good point. There’s likely an OCD driven anxiety vibe I get from them.

They’re like the old timey hardwood version of loud casino carpet.

Tough rounds lately... we need another Dakota vs Southern California for the first round. LMAO

I love Seattle and don't want to turn it down.

It's a ****ing castle.

I'm not excited about either location (east coast vs. Seattle), and the castle would be cool, but I have to go with WA. Great wine cellar.

It's pretty impressive how savage a beat down this was when it seems like just about everyone was at least a little torn.

It's a haunted castle that was used for exterior shots in Dark Shadows!

Fans of the 1960's television series "Dark Shadows" would most likely recognize this French renaissance chateau located on Newport's Ruggles Avenue. Used for all of the external shots of the television series' Collins mansion, Carey Mansion has a bit of haunted history of its own. Edson Bradley built the mansion, originally known as Seaview Terrace, in 1907 in Washington DC. In the 1920s, Bradley relocated himself and his family to Rhode Island, and along with them came Seaview Terrace, dismantled into pieces and then rebuilt on Ruggles Avenue. In 1929, Julia Bradley, Edson Bradley's wife, died. Bradley held her funeral the chapel located within the mansion. Five years later, Edson himself passed away. One year later, the mansion became an exclusive all-girl summer boarding school, renamed Burnham-by-the-Sea where incidences of smoke detectors going off for no reason, bottles flying off desks and radios turning on and off by themselves were often reported. It's believed that Bradley's late wife Julia felt such a great attachment to the house that she refused to leave even after her death.

Now I want it even more. I'm hoping for a big late rally.
