This is The Big Renovation Thread. It's a sequel to The Big House Thread. ->
The house is from 1900 and we think has really nice bones. Unfortunately, the back half of the 20th century happened between when it was built and now, which means everything is under 900 coats of thick paint, ugly carpeting, and wood panelling, so much wood panelling.

Friends, I come to this question with no judgement:
There is a familiar affect that is common to particular kind of generally liberal self-identified brainy nerd - a simmering theatricality mixed with hyper crisp pronunciation, like the nerd culture transatlantic accent. It's been around quite a while. What is the lineage here?
I should specify- culturally less Ira Glass, more Neil Gaiman

Was going through some very old things today and found this notebook where I was totally for real designing a Zelda game at age 11. This dungeon featured soon to be classic boss "BARR" and beloved npc "MARK".

We drove up to Potter County, a remote region with the darkest skies in Pennsylvania, to look at stars. Down the road from where we were staying is a tiny town called Austin, notable for a disaster that happened there in 1911. Although tbh "happened" is far too passive a term.
Austin was a small settlement in a valley between the heavily wooded hills, and it grew into a bustling town during the logging boom the region was undergoing during the late 19th century. It was also prone to an absurd number of complete disasters. A short list:
A short list of disasters I found mention of:
1889: destroyed by flood
1890: destroyed by fire
1891: destroyed by fire
1894: destroyed by flood
1897: destroyed by fire
