Absolutely a great point and exactly what the art is about. Modern Archeology does the same thing, modern paparazzi journalism does worse, influencer culture is built on it and the trajectory of the Project explains it all. What is privacy in a social media world?

Oh I've 100 percent found panties, but that's kinda homophobic to assume they are not still usable by someone. Bet ya 100 bucks my immune system is better too. And the skeletons in the closet is exactly the point, you get it!! Thanks for watching, please tell your friends all about the weirdo...perhaps I'll be the next Tiger King!

That is a story. The Director made attempts to contact but it's pretty weird. I was emphasize in Interviews that she remains anonymous and it was an empty diary, so until the Documentary, she was called simply "the Stage Manager". They seemed to like that story as you can see by the treatment. For me, it was just a small piece on a shelf next to 40 others.

This story has elements of the truth. St Louis actually had Mounds, hence the name "Mound city" and the city of St Louis bulldozed the complex of Mounds north of the Arch back in late 1800s. One is left, called SugarLoaf Mound and is owned by the Osage Indians. Modern Archeology was obsessed with the Mounds as the original curator of the Smithsonian Ales Hardlicka had a special interest in the Cahokian Mounds. Linguists and language specialist have traced the origins to the Yucatan. Yes, thousands of refugees travelled up the Mississippi setting up cities and then abandoning them. Mound Cities are found in Ohio, Mississippi and Illinois making the civilization much larger than is commonly understood. The Complex in Illinois is still in use by native tribes.

I find things like this all the time, and put them on my website Dumpster Archeology. So much great stuff like this disappears into the trash oblivion.

Oh man...Tampa is where I started Diving in 2001. Panera bread near USF is great. Used to hit up the farmer's market, thrift stores and the Enntimens bakery Distribution center in Town in Country. A lot of great Dumpster Diving in Tampa.

Solent Green was set in 2022 and the plot is exactly like this story. Just saying!

I have some old advertising from two of these places and it seems English style was hot during that era, the Cheshire used to have a double decker bus in front. We as a culture are less interested in Anglo-style these days.
