Time Slip Lore

I think that was the first one I ever saw, the one of the old British couple and the bench that never existed. Like 10 years ago now.

This is one of those things I intuitively feel are a bunch of stories, lies, and exaggerations, but forcefully block that because the premise of it is so freaking cool.

We had a Chinatown 90 years ago, but important citizens (mostly led by the wives of the local oligarchs) concerned with the Chinese, and the adjoining red light district, made sure neither survived the temperance movement. Before our town became even more of a merchant sleeze port. I want to see that merchant sleeze port.

I think people (like myself) have a fascination with looking back in time. I enjoy looking at old pictures of the same location being completely different. Like, "Holy shit, there was a sports field right here?" "Oh neat, A Woolworths!"
