Ed Lynskey inquired, "Did you have the opportunity to peek in
the attic pace for any Goodis materials?"
The present owner had told the real estate broker that David
Goodis had lived in the house. We saw nothing which could
have been left by David Goodis. The house was a museum of he
life of the present owner. She vacated the house without
taking anything. The lady who was selling the house raised a
beautiful family there. The house was full of clothing,
pictures and furniture belonging to her family. There were
boxes of books and clothing in the attic. The real estate
broker had limited time and he was doing us a favor by
showing the house to people who were not interested in buying
it. There was no time to go through the boxes. I would have
considered such a search a violation of the privacy of the
owner.
Hanging in the master bedroom was a drawing of the Goodis
house. The picture was dated in the 1970's or 1990's, after
the present owners had bought the house. My wife remarked
that this picture of 6305 North 11th Street was not a
representation of the real Goodis house--- no shadows, no
steam coming from the sidewalk, no rain, no lightening, and
it wasn't black and white. Nothing noir about it.
