Comments on: Crowdsourcing a story for the South Haven lighthouse http://kellyoconnormcnees.com/1780 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:55:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: kelly http://kellyoconnormcnees.com/1780#comment-452 kelly Sat, 17 Jul 2010 13:20:39 +0000 http://kellyoconnormcnees.com/?p=1780#comment-452 Nice one! I was trying to think of a good hideout story, because apparently Al Capone was rumored to be an investor in the 1930s developments at Sleepy Hollow. But that doesn't really work, since the lighthouse is in the middle of the public beach. Unless he was hiding in plain sight . . . If this were a children's book, someone would buy the lighthouse and fill it full of ice cream. Nice one!

There's a great little tavern on the channel at the drawbridge in South Haven named "Captain Lou's". A great little watering hole. Very little is known, however, about the original Captain Lou and why he stopped being a ship captain and came ashore to run a local tavern. Also, is it merely a coincidence that there is also a decommissioned sailing ship permanently anchored in the harbor at South Haven, which is now a restaurant, aptly named "The Idler"? The closest Captain Lou could get to the water, thereafter, was the lighthouse at the end of the pier. Now that his tavern has been very successful for many years, he has the money to buy the lighthouse and move in. He will then spend the remainder of his years musing out over the horizon and writing the story of "Captain Lou's Secret". HHhhmm.... "It was a cold and stormy night...". OK, I’ll get it started.

Kristin: I can't believe Spencer and Heidi showed up. And he's dressed as a sea captain. Lo: We should call him Ahab because he's such a moby dick. Audrina: Huh? Even though it’s over, I’d like to set an episode of The Hills at the Lighthouse.
