We saw a post about the
Little House back in 2007. It sold for $139000 then. About a year ago it sold for approximately $173000. Now, it's up for sale again at
reportedly $180000. It's been renovated and now has it's
own site complete with a gallery, history, and celebrity endorsement.

Hollywood Midget Movie Stars. They started as
popular vaudevillians. (From a
review: "The chief feature, however, was the ten scenes in which the Singer Midgets appeared. The Midget strong man, the Midget conjurer, the Midget "Cleopatra" with the winning ways--these and many more were there.") They stormed the
New York stage. They were members of
The Lollipop Guild (YouTube link), as well as playing other
Munchkins. They were suspected of being
German sympathizers. But they may be best remembered for starring in the world's first
all-midget musical western. Now available for your viewing pleasure from YouTube: Part

Sambo's Restaurant It turns out that many people enjoyed Sambo's restaurants back in the 50s, 60s and 70s, but apparently
the real tale of Sambo and the tigers eventually became so infused with racist overtones that it overwhelmed the dining chain and essentially brought it down. The chain was named, incidentally, after the
two men who opened the first restaurant:
Sam Battistone and Newell
Bohnett.
