dr_pretentiousSome people's ancestors had houses with respectable names, like Crosswicks or Rokeby. Some people I know now have lived in houses they named Turtle Hill and, in a fit of Eva-Peron-inspired irony, Casa Rosada. What did my ancestors and their neighbors call our original family homestead, from its establishment in 1656 until the day it burned in 1894? The Hive of the Averys.
We came from a Hive? A capital-H Hive? In a coastal New England town? Apparently we're characters from as-yet-unwritten H.P. Lovecraft fanfic.
I especially like the picture of the official town map, with HIVE scratched in as an essential landmark.
