Re: Old Houses in Marietta Georgia
I've been to the ruins in New Mexico and Arizona, Moe, and it ain't exactly the same. In England you can sit at a bar that's 1000 years old. I once did some work at a law firm (near Banbury Cross of nursery rhyme fame) that had a hallway between the "old" and "new" buildings. The old building was 900 years old! The new building a mere 700. The doorways were too small for normal size people to fit through without ducking and there wasn't a square corner in the place. But they had computers in there and everything!
Old houses here in Anaheim Hills are the ones built near the freeway in the seventies. Now that is OLD! All stone fireplacey and 70's Ski Chalet inside with little tiny windows.

Re: Old Houses in Marietta Georgia
Alan's got a point. "Old World" and "Old School" are two completely different things.

Re: Old Houses in Marietta Georgia
I stopped by some of these years ago when the kids were small. Surprisingly, they were right beside the road and were wide open. We were able to look into and, if we wanted to (we didn't) go "inside" 900 year old ruins. I wondered how much longer they would last given the typical lack of respect that most of us have for this stuff. At least there was no graffiti on them (yet.) I think this was near Flagstaff, AZ.
