We! Are! Back! We missed you, baby! Time to come home… To a home…!
We’re kicking off the season with a spoopy lil’ place in Los Angeles built by Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., drawing on his sense of the *tosses glitter* theater! This neo-Mayan home has the cool cool nickname of the Jaws House and also was home to a leading suspect in the notorious Black Dahlia cold case. As always, you’ll hear about architects! Houses! Persian cats! And, bonus for the season, murder…!
