The Platform 4 piece misses the best part — the piano was claimed in 1987 and the owner still plays it at the winter market.

HOUSE RULES — WHAT GETS THROUGH
Moderation policy
Comments filed under obvious pseudonyms or single-use handles are held for a second read. Readers stand behind their words here, the same as our writers do.
A first-time commenter who drops a link goes to the spam pile by default. Once a reader has two approved comments, links are read by an editor instead of the filter.
Attack the argument, never the author or another reader. Anything that reads as a pile-on gets removed and the thread is locked at an editor's call.
