Edinburgh

I was just reading my old posts on here... and I ran across This one. For those of you who remember, it's the one where I described a dream I had, where CNHS was downtown, and downtown looked like van helsing, etc. If you don't remember, just go look and refresh your memory.

Anyway, I realized just now... What was, in my head, downtown Columbus, actually looked somewhat like the dodgier areas of central Edinburgh (scotland, not indiana). Although there were very few doors that sat two feet off the ground, the general look and feel was similar to that of the closes of old town, except flatter and plus snow. For reference, here are a few pictures (photography sites are useless, can't even find decent pictures of closes newer than 100 years old):


Fleshmarket Close


Milne's Court


Some other Close


And a view over Edinburgh for good measure.

But yeah, I'm thinking that dream probably had something to do with Edinburgh and Scotland.

And another thing... remember that strip club I mentioned in the dream? Well, the first close I thought of during the creation of this post was Fleshmarket Close. I did a search, and a certain phrase popped up: "In the dank brothels of fleshmarket close"... Interesting.

Your "Some Other Close" is also from Milne's Court - looking out the end of the close over the city...
