Re: Steel Magnolias

Mark, I have most likely driven past the home alone house or your Mom's as well. My friend Bruce and your friend Donald lived on Oak St. in Winnetka. We used to junk collect in the burbs there the first weekend in May. Remember those days? ;-)

My mom lives down the street from the 'Home Alone' house in Winnetka, Illinois. There used to be a sign in the window, with a picture of McCaulay Culkin. It's just another two-story brick house - nothing much to photograph there. I preferred the farolitos around the house down the street when I'd visit at Christmastime.
The Steel Magnolias settings and houses you've photographed are very pretty. Much nicer than a two-story house on a dark, tree-shaded street.

I've been trying to think of some ways to show Natchitoches Spring flowers in context without too much landscape, so I thought I'd show you some stars from Steel Magnolias. I was not yet back in Natchitoches in 1989 when Hollywood came in and took over the town.
They made sets from homes and built a soundstage at the University in a gym.
You remember that film, don't you? It was the chick-flick of the decade. Nominated for Oscars and won Golden Globe, all that stuff. You can hardly surf cable TV without finding it playing on some channel.
There's even a carriage tour of the locations here. That's where I'm going with this; a short tour of Steel Magnolia locations. It ain't art, but might be pretty.
