While  photographers infiltrated the old Don Jail, taking pictures of the old crapper in solitary over by death row, I discovered this remnant of William Morris-esque wallpaper in the original Governor’s Chambers, adjacent to the cell block on the second floor. Oh, if one could go back in time, even for just a minute, to understand or at least even to get a glimpse of societal norms and the whole urban tone of Muddy York way back when. Resplendent Governor’s Chamber’s, smack-dab in the middle of the crowded jail? Kind of defies ones imagination.

Of course the problem with visiting a haunted, Gothic jail back in time is that your Time-Machine might bail on you just when you need it to get back to present-day. Now that would truly suck!

Not the first and certainly not the last shout-out about the wonderful music of my world-flutist friend Ron Korb!
