The Haunted Boarding House

[L Verge]

About forty years ago, when the boardinghouse was a Chinese grocery store (and looked like it should be raided by the health department), a group of us - including Betty and I - used to dare each other to open the door to the right of the entrance - store's entrance was to the left on the ground floor where it still is today - and run upstairs to see what the second and third floors were being used as. For some reason, we had visions of evil doings and opium dens up there!

Betty, help - was it known as Suey Sang Lung's then? They did sell good macaroon cookies. However, ask any question about Mrs. Surratt or the Lincoln assassination, and they clammed up.
