I have this sensation allll the time when I’m scrolling through the news. You hear something, and it strikes such a chord. What chord? Not sure!

Tenants had no idea their building held a secret wall festooned with lions, banners, golden rays and a crown surrounding the Ten Commandments. It waited in the dark for 25 years, and now it is being restored.

Well, write ’em if you got ’em. Better luck than never.
