I am not sure why Fire Island had that particularly dense accretion of memory -- maybe summer places are like that -- you did not live there all the time, but in key beats -- you had to get reaquainted each time; you were always familiar with the place and arriving anew. thanks — Betsy for the lead, will follow up, and SDN for the nice thought.

This comment section won't allow me to paste in a url, so do a search and check it out. a recent edition is Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. Students learn the basics of Google Earth, and then can fly from place to place in the book, seeing images and learning info. Very cool. another way to experience the palpable past in favorite books is Google Lit Trips.
