Chloe is a Spitfire

Joy's Spitfire

My friend, Joy, has a huge crush on a car: a 1977 Triumph Spitfire named Chloe. Having bought it from the original owner, she has lavished it with TLC. She parks it in a garage and recently had the seats redone. Joy’s also learning how to drive with a manual transmission.

Joy enjoys flashing photos of Chloe as much as or better than mothers who pass around photos of their children.

To sum up, the Spitfire truly is Joy’s pride and, er, joy.

Speaking of Joy, I assisted her with a project this week. An ad agency from Cleveland is coming to Pittsburgh to shoot furniture ads in some of our stately homes and mansions.

Why are Cleveland people coming to Pittsburgh? Because most of the ones in the Lake Erie city, and in the Gilded Age there were plenty, have been knocked down.

She is helping the ad people scout the houses, and I helped her by emailing photos of candidates – many of which have appeared on Above Bellefonte.

I also tracked down owners using the Allegheny County property tax list, then I found phone numbers for most of them.

Joy was quite happy when she saw my work, but it wasn’t work. It was fun.
