Since everyone keeps talking about hypothetical purple
houses, I thought I would through in the story of a real
purple house. When I was in high school one of my buddies
lived on an 80 acre farm about a mile from town. At
the end of the gravel township road that led to his house
(where it met the state highway) there was a family from
West Virginia. Nice folks, but a little eccentric. One day
I noticed that one side of there white 2 story farm house
was painted purple. The rest of the house was still white.
A story circulated that somebody had dropped the purple
paint bucket off the ladder on to another family members
head. I don't know if this is true or not, but the house stayed
purple on 1 side and white on 3 sides for many years.
These folks would definetly not have fit in with the CC&R
crowd in Planned Community Ville. Of course, they
probably wouldn't say much about a couple of hundred
foot towers going up next store. If I had my choice, I'd
live next to the people in the purple house.
