You need to go out and talk with your neighbors some more so you can come back here and dish the gossip up for us!
This is even more interesting than the history of my house: -Built in 1977 by a young couple who divorced before the house was finished. Thus the house ended up with the bottom of the pile, already going out of style avocado kitchen and gold/orange flowered wallpaper. Which was still up when we bought the house in 1987. -Next owner's wife slept with the guy who installed culverts in order to get the work done for free. I am indebted to her for getting those so we don't have a huge ditch in the front yard like some of the neighbors. -Following owner was a good old boy who knew more about flowers than women. His wife was an ex-prostitute who collected antiques and put iron bars on all the windows and doors because "she was worried about her antiques." Yeah. She later skipped town because she and another gal were wanted for rolling a john but not before tying him up and stuffing paper towels in his mouth which suffocated him. We bought the house from the good old boy but it was a hassle because he couldn't/didn't want to find his ex to get her to sign papers giving him clear title.
So...we must look pretty tame to the neighbors, despite the Harleys.
