My screenplay with a hit or two - one of my main characters hides out there - the other comes there trying find a friend after witnessing a murder. My first cut had the one on the run finding the one hiding in plain site to Niagara Falls.

Then a little pup I work with has roots there - and shared it with me.

I have a neat article for you - brb . . .

ETA its in there at your link - I have a hard copy original of this issue of ebony:

I'm so excited to "meet" a descendent.
