Vanessa - Ghosts of Mississippi

I just came across this article from a 2014 best-of list from The Saturday Paper. Scanning the list of stories mostly reminded me that the publication has been a bit of a disappointment over the course of the year. But one story jumped out at me from the Travel section that I hadn't noticed when it was first published, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Singer/songwriter Darren Hanlon visits a tiny town in Mississippi he knows only from a favourite 1950s Elia Kazan film. I won't say any more, you guys might have read the story already, and if you haven't it's best to just read it. It's nicely written, using just enough words to paint a distinct, atmospheric picture. Like Sean's earlier post about The Multiple Meanings of a Philip Guston Drawing, it's another great example of going down the rabbit hole of a personal obsession.
