That was me living there before they tore it down, I was in that house 11 years, still have the pirate flag we flew above the house. I moved in in 82 and had NO idea of the history of the house, but all sorts of people showed up there,( like bikers kicking the door in at 2 am) and told me stuff about the Haycock Hilton. Danny Gattons old fridge was still upstairs in 82 but some pals of his came and got it. Found out the Pagans bikers murdered 2 people in my basement in the 70s which was creepy and disturbing but damn I loved that place. Had a thousand parties, the developer who owned it said we could do anything we wanted to the place except burn it down. Metro came in late 80s and all the commuters suddenly were trooping by in droves and staring at us. We made a big banner "COMMUTER THEATER" and some afternoons we would unfurl it and give em something to stare at, like an insane puppet show, or a queen dressed in aluminum foil with bowing subjects all round. Most people stared straight ahead but about 5% seemed to enjoy it! Glad Im out of that area now but it was great then.
