a m geller's grandson jake gorst's email to curbed regarding pearlroth house:

We've managed to raise enough money to move the house, but the Town of Southampton now requires that we put $25,000 in a passbook savings account so they can access it in the unlikely event that we abandon the restoration project before February 2007. Essentially they want us to pay to have it torn down if we "give up" - which is not in our vocabulary.

From 28 June 1965 to 31 March 1967 many American teenagers rushed home from school to watch Where the Action Is, a weekday ABC-TV program produced by Dick Clark Productions. The show aired at 3:30 p.m. central time and began with Freddy Cannon's song "Action": "Oh, baby, come on, let me take you where the action is/ . . . It's so neat to meet your baby where the action is."
I was 11 when it started and 13 when it ended. i saw sonny and cher often. paul revere + raiders were regulars. it was a great summer and run home after school show though for sure. it laid the ground work in garage band appreciation. psych was still just around the time corner but that would only come from the radio. that was the end of reality youth culture on tv for a while (not counting the monkeys.) next would come don kirshner's rock concert. but that was what seamed to be much later. i was loosing interest in american band stand as soul train took on more relevance late 60's early 70's.

"Draw a picture of a house," the big sister instructed the younger one, and the little girl's sketch was remarkably accurate. Her drawing was not the predictable A-frame with requisite chimney and smoke, but a squat, domed structure with striped siding. It was Alaska in the 1960s, and the girl was drawing her idea of the typical family home: a Quonset hut. This story, along with oral histories, essays, artifacts, and photographs, has been collected in Quonset: Metal Living for a Modern Age. In addition to the book, the NEH-supported project includes a Web site and an exhibition now on display at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art.

During the housing crunch of the late 1940s, thousands of people across the nation converted these surplus military huts into unconventional homes, churches, and restaurants. Today, the Quonset has largely vanished from most of the American landscape--and most people's memory.
