It suddenly looks like Twitter is offering me some decent content to read and reply to.

#WhereAmINow? (Final)

Have completed a key objective of my trip: finding the Bird Girl, the statue seen on the book cover of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". It was moved out of the Bonaventure cemetery where it originally sat because book/movie fans were trying to remove chunks as souvenirs.

Found her in the Telfair museum in Savannah, Ga where I have been this week.

This is the mansion used in the film Cape Fear, 1962 version with creepy Robert Mitchum. Its's known as The Armstrong Kessler Mansion. Took photo on April 6. Look at the gold detail on the wrought iron.

In the movie, it was the scene of Nancy's school. Very much the opposite of the rough and rustic scenes where she later finds herself in great danger.

This is the house where the murder happened in the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil", taken yesterday (April 6). Now overlapping tours flow through the house all day. Recommend it highly.

Warning: If you see the movie or read the book (way better), you will become obsessed with getting in here.

Guess my location in a reply and I will Favorite it if you are correct. Search on #WhereAmINow? to get more clues.

Notice the statue on the book cover. It's called "Bird Girl" and graced Bonaventure Cemetery in this city for years. "The Book" became so famous, on the NYT list for four years (a record) crowds of tourists came to the cemetery. Some broke off pieces of it and it had to be moved. I will try to find it on my trip this week.

Your friend has been accused of murder and the defense case is not looking good. Yet it's surprising that he has brought a Voudou practitioner to this place for help. This is latest in the strangest series of events you can imagine. You check your watch, and thank god that you are a writer, because it's....

Here I sit in Chippewa square in a park bench right next to where a movie character explained to us that "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get."
