Casanova Restaurant
 |
Location : Carmel CA
Phone: 831-625-0501 Description : Aunt Fairy Bird's House ~ SOME YEARS AGO… we were walking along 5th street between San Carlos and Mission, when we suddenly heard a gentle "Hello". The sound came from behind a screen door in a tiny house, the worse for wear, just past the Shell station. We approached the door (which never opened) and met Aunt Fairy Bird, a small black lady who had lived there for over 50 years. Her house, situated as it was in downtown Carmel, was in truth, a shack, but it was coveted by nearby landowners. She lived there alone for many years. When she died at nearly 90, not long after our only encounter, her house and a lot were the object of spirited bidding in an estate sale. We learned that she had once been the cook for Charlie Chaplin, that her husband Tom had been a popular handyman in Carmel, and that she was a handy-lady for several Carmel Families. |
