House of Secrets
Every now and then, we find something in our house that the previous owners left behind. Most of the oddball items we found in our first week or so: a build-your-own-pistol kit, a swordfish nose, that sort of thing. But last night, while prepping to paint the family room, I found something else that I can’t explain. (Or can’t explain accurately, I suppose.) Tucked behind the mirror over the bar, there was a 2003 restaurant review from the Star-Ledger. It wasn’t the whole page – just the review, cut out (although it was a full-page review, the edges were trimmed). This leads me to believe the paper wasn’t there for some inexplicable way to help the mirror installation, but because someone was saving it – and not just saving it, but hiding it. As for the why, who knows? But an explanation will certainly show up in some story or other.

A review for what restaurant? Was it a good review?
I think the strangest item we've found was an X-rated version of Beauty and the Beast. The videotape was hidden amongst some scrap wood in the basement. What made it strange was that dialog sections were recorded over. It looked like someone was channel surfing, looking for vaguely arousing scenes from TV. There are snippets of The Lady in Red, some TV shows I can't remember, and a variety program on Telemundo (or Unavision).
