I LOVE your site! I live in one of the "cheesy" houses. This is a 55 and older community that appreciates the history of the prison. There is a fantastic Arts Center that has been developed within the prison complex and we are waiting to see how creative a developer can be with the maximum security side. The architecture and history is so rich - I marvel at it daily as I get to see the guard tower and imposing walls through my kitchen window.
