Five
friends meet at the gold twin towers of Campbell Center on a
January day to tour Southfork Ranch, the place where it all
happened (1978-1991, 2012-2014). A twenty-five-year-old soap opera
fan from Arlington has dressed as Lucy Ewing for the occasion.
George Stevens' Giant (1956) and Douglas
Sirk's Written
on the
Wind (1956) loom as foundational texts. Horses.
Unguents, essences are smelled at Northpark Center, the perfectly
preserved 1965 art-mall, and The Scent Room, an elevated perfumery.
Beef Wellington and escargot at The Old Warsaw, a restaurant
described as "still at it, even though the rest of the world has
moved on." Neandertal Dark is unwrapped.
Headphones are recommended.
