I love how this read like poetry. It reminded me of the Cecil Hotel here in Los Angeles—its proximity to Skid Row and the role it plays as semi-permanent housing to the houseless population there, and its reputation for violence, suicide, doors "holding behind them things you'd rather not know." The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel documentary on Netflix covers a lot of its history. I love the exploration of how events that transpire can assign narrative meaning to a place, and how that place can assign new meaning to us in turn.
