#hippie camp

1930 Hippie commune in Vermontville, New York. It has 6bd. 3ba. $1.111M. It’s pricey b/c it’s on 27.5 acres, b/c the house is not worth that much and not all of the cabins have electric.

This room is nice, though, it has the knotty pine walls and nice stone fireplace.

It’s odd, but the rooms are long and narrow in the main house. I don’t know what this room is supposed to be, but it has a nice stone fireplace.

They have a nice dining table set up outside the kitchen on a porch.

The kitchen is big, has a separate open area, and a stripper pole.

I guess this would be a dining room.

Look at this. Some kind of apothecary, and look at all the electrical outlets.

This bd. has 2 bds. 

Another bd. They’re big, but they’re also that narrow shape.

Not the prettiest bath.

See how narrow the hallway is. 

2nd fl. bd. 

2nd fl. bath. 

And, another 2nd. fl. bd.

This building has a painted garage door, but I think it’s one of the cabins. 

Small cabin for sleeping.

And, I’m going to say that this is one of the cabins that doesn’t have electricity.

The barn is a communal space.

Multi-purpose, I would imagine.

According to the description, the land will never change b/c it’s “deeded forever wild,” which would also mean that a buyer would pay all that money and not be able to build. It’s nice, but I wish the residence was nicer.

all of your post are making me want to watch M.A.S.H.... and I do really like stuff involving the korean/vietnam war.... do i do it?

it really is great if you already have experience with other art/fiction created during and after the vietnam war. Apocalypse Now comes to mind, but that really undersells how much of a total fluke MASH was for its time. i mean, it started airing while the vietnam war was STILL HAPPENING, and they HAD to keep it about korea just so they could get on the air, AND this was less than five years after the Hays code ended. it was the 70s, but it was also the 70s, you know?

you NEED to go into this show acknowledging that it was produced in a very very particular window of time; as much as we tend to think of pop media as existing in this anachronistic homogeneity wherein which things remain static for decades, that is not the case, and MASH is very very clearly a product of its time, as everything unavoidably is. general consensus is that the show really "grew the beard" around season 4/5 (the last 2 episodes of s4 are some of my favorite episodes of the whole show) but it's never perfect, and you shouldn't expect it to be. and this too has a metanarrative merit to it. we are all capable of evil (or just saying things in poor taste) even when our intentions are good, etc...

on the other hand, sometimes that's an incredibly impressive thing. watching MASH with a solid lens of its contemporary audience and culture will reveal all sorts of little shocks and rebellions that would seem tame or even regressive to a later audience such as us. if you have a cool parent or older friend/relative to watch this with who was alive at the time of the vietnam war and remembers seeing the dead bodies on the news every night, watch this with them. alternatively, check out commentary online by people in that age range, as well as writer/actor/director commentary if that's your bag (sometimes alan alda was all 3). enjoying antiwar fiction like MASH with that cultural context is like using one of those little decoder lenses on a cereal box or whatever. i said to another asker: "by 70s tv censorship standards, this show was basically on-screen gay sex and flag burning."

it's fucking uncanny when something in MASH strikes you and you can see how little has broadly changed in global politics since. and yes that's a tragedy. but i think there's a corollary to it:

My brother and I once found an old TV in the bushes of our house and we spent multiple days taking it apart with screwdrivers with the intense focus of like surgeons. After that, as a special fun treat my mom would sometimes take us to the rubbish dump to pick out vcr’s or microwaves from the for sale area to take apart and it was like disney level hype to go do this. Methhead behavior had nothing on us we were fkn taking apart radios for the love of the fucking game
