Elizabeth Doesn’t Garden?
John Edwards’ house:
Err, houses. High-res here. Curtsy: this guy and this guy.
I hate to go all snobby on everyone and all, but… God isn’t it tacky?
I like the one little Charlie-Brown-Christmas-tree of a tree in front of the house. Mustn’t block the neighbors’ view, Ma! Two-toned and laid out horizontally for added visibility!

Looks like a Southron Academy after the $3 million bond issue sold.

That yard is so big you could spell out “Tort law reform” and it would be picked up by google earth.

What’s that red building? There used to be a fast food chain that had buildings like that. Red Barn?

No I believe I heard once that’s the antique historical barn that they originally bought, tacking that other monstrosity onto it because it wasn’t ostentatious enough. Bordering on tasteful. Plus, the 6-year-old didn’t have his own wing to hold over his classmates heads. The ones who had to buy shoes at Walmart, earning his scorn.

Well, if it’s a real traditional barn, does it have an advertisement for chewing tobacco on the side?

Hey, Red Barn was a real fast food chain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Barn
There was one still standing in the Over-the-Rhine section of Cincinnati about ten years ago, and they were preserving it for heritage reasons - which was a bit odd because O-t-R was genuinely old and not needing to preserve mid-20th century tackiness. Well, maybe not as old as where Half comes from, but old enough….

No I think it’s one of those antique barns that rather predates chewing tobacco. The sort of thing that America’s oldest families would live in. Very old money. About a hundred years ago. They’ve all moved on and turned their barns and manors into museums and the new money schlock-meisters buy up what’s left and destroy any lingering authenticity it may have in their quest to paint themselves with some kind of borrowed history.
