Remember reading The Great Gatsby in high school? No? You read it, I'm sure of it. Somewhere between Death of a Salesman and Macbeth. But knowing your lack of self-motivation in life, you never read it probably. You never even read the SparkNotes version.
Annnyway, remember Daisy Buchanan? No, of course not, why would you? She was a character in Gatsby, and we've established that you never read it. But I did, because I'm a worldly man of leisure who not only reads classic literature, but also looks dashing in Italian business suits.
Well, it seems Daisy Buchanan's real life home--or, rather, the home that inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald to make it Daisy's in the book--is going to be demolished soon. Disrepair and neglect means the house isn't worth the land it sits on. I sense a condo complex on the horizon.
I'm not saying you're to blame. I'm just saying look at what never reading that book in high school has lead to.
