Out of all hooping

“A few days ago, I posted some photos of what we used just call the Castle, a cluster of ruins up in the hills of my hometown. As a teenager, no one really knew anything about the ruins, which are on private property. I’d tried researching it online but to no avail. Turns out I was googling the wrong thing. The Castle was actually the Napa Soda Springs, a very fancy spa/springs resort as well as the home of Napa Soda bottling company. So, I was right when I said the rumors were that it was a spa and soda factory, but I didn’t have all the details. So, I asked the internet, and thanks to Robin Moore and my pal Rod Perry, the mystery was solved.” (via the Castle- redux)
