It touched me that people were able to save Jerry Siegel's home from shambles. Now let's save George Reeves' home in Woolstock, Iowa!

This is really cool. History come to life. Glad to see the house restoral. But..I have a question. Do the current owners of the house have any obligation to keep the house in as good a shape?
Hate to be a cynic but for all the work and time spent restoring the house, I should think that someone should be responsible going forward."You are here for a reason! Now...I don't know what reason...whose reason...but there's one thing I do know...It ain't to score touchdowns!"

The house has gotten so much attention lately that I feel sorry for the Grays, never knowing who was driving past or dropping by.
Promoter Peter Smith said will be another Screaming Tiki Cleveland SuperCon (I know, it sounds like a Japanese game show) next year. The houses where Jerry and Joe grew up will play a role. Keep an eye on www.screamingtikicon.com next spring for times, dates and info and please come to Cleveland for a visit. We like people.
Also, some have questioned whether the street is spelled KIMBERLY or KIMBERLEY. Weirdly enough, the answer is YES!
Don't ask me (or anyone in the city) to explain it, but it's spelled with the "e" at the eastern end of the block and without the "e" at the other end. Most of the time it's spelled without.

Hey yinz guys -
No offense was meant. I didn't even know someone WAS living in the house. I'm glad the Grays now know the importance of what happened there. I was asking that question not to characterize them in ANY way. But I was asking it for years down the road.
I mean...it's Cleveland....

No offense taken. It was a valid point.
