A Poe fan!

Cool, yeah, Ed is from my hometown (a very diverse place to grow up)


I know he was in Richmond, but her was also in Baltimore for a while.
I cannot recall where he was born. Was it Baltimore?

From http://www.online-literature.com/poe/:

"Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts,
to parents who were itinerant actors. His father David Poe Jr. died
probably in 1810 and his mother Elizabeth Hopkins Poe in 1811. Edgar was
taken into the home of a Richmond merchant John Allan and brought up
partly in England (1815-20), where he attended Manor School at Stoke
Newington. Never legally adopted, Poe took Allan's name for his middle name."

The Black Cat
1843

Pluto --this was the cat's name --was my favorite pet and playmate. I
alone fed him, and he attended me wherever I went about the house. It
was even with difficulty that I could prevent him from following me
through the streets.

cities have!

Thank you, Nick! But he did live in Baltimore, perhaps as a grown man.

So you grew up in Richmond?

Oh shure, I grew up on the backside of Church Hill..Jackson Ward (kind
of the underbelly of Richomnd)We moved away when I was 11, I moved back
when I was 21.

man.

Yeah, this is where he got his feet wet in writing for a magazine.

Well I love Richmond. I go there quite often, as I have relatives there. It
is a special
place.

And his grave was originally there, because there is a story about H. L.
Mencken and others making pilgrimages to pee on his grave after late night
drinking parties.

You must know a different side of Richmond than I do. I spent some
time there because I had a lot of student friends living in the Fan
.... ugh, what a miserable place.

Every city has a dirty element, but Richmond is big on art of all
kinds, this draws some pretty interesting people. Richmond also has one
of the best medical colleges in the country, this draws lots of money,
Richmond is saturated with old money.
