> [@Joey\_P](#): > > There’s a retirement place around here that my company used to deliver to. When they first opened up they had a banner that said “Senior Living’s Best Kept Secret”. I don’t know if it was on purpose or not, but they mostly dealt with people with Alzheimer’s. C’mon, that had to be a joke, right? I’m sure part of it was because when they built the location it was way out in a part of the city with nothing built up around them for miles and it was hard to find…but still “best kept secret”…the people that live there don’t have a good memory anymore, you be the judge. Was it the Springfield Undisclosed Retirement Bunker? Wait, I notice you focus on “best kept secret,” as though they’re touting it as a well-kept (note the hyphen) secret (the best, in fact). What I saw in that slogan was an admonition that old folks should be warehoused. As in _“Senior Living **is** Best Kept Secret.”_ That missing hyphen really changes the implications. ---

I never thought of that, and my sister even has an Addy doll! But what more surprises me is that American Girl is still selling her. Last I heard, they were getting rid of their story-based lines and just going with their “create-a-doll” model instead. Heck, I’d heard they weren’t even going to keep on publishing the stories. It does seem like they’ve dropped a bunch of them, though, at least, in doll form. It seems Addy is the oldest one left, save for Molly who was one of the originals. When my sister got her, Addy was either new or the second newest. ---

In the town where I grew up there was a stretch of the main street through town where the four things you came to sequentially were… A life insurance company, a head-stone store, a cemetery, and a mortuary. How convienent! Eventually they shoe-horned a Post Office in by the cemetery. I wondered if the employees ever got tired of jokes about being the “dead letter office”. ---

It seems Addy is the oldest one left, save for Molly who was one of the originals. When my sister got her, Addy was either new or the second newest. They’ve added several historical dolls lately. In the interests of being “collectable” they retire and add dolls with regularity. ---

There is a high school in Minnesota named after Henry Sibley - who got the Dakota out of Minnesota by paying a bounty of $25 per scalp and convicted 303 Sioux and condemned them to death in a kangaroo court (fortunately Lincoln granted clemancy to all but 39). He was also the first Governor of the state. ---
