Sorry, folks, my bad!

I just saw the brick walls, the dusted vintage cars and my mind linked to the sad fate of 'Museu do Automóvel', completely abandoned.

And I didn't notice the Portuguese license plates (completely different from Brazilian ones). Tks for calling my attention.

One such barns was too much for me; now there's two!

Altough the language is Portuguese, the barn is located in Caçapava, São Paulo, Brazil.

It once was the 'Museu do Automóvel', owned by collector and businessman Robert Lee.

Since he passed away, his collection gather dust, due to inheritor's feuds.

Googling 'Museu do Automóvel' + 'Robert Lee' you'll be able to get the sad picture.

(I never been there, but my father always remember visiting the museum when it was in sparkling condition)

what a privileged balcony, just left the photographer's place. 'Best seat on the house'

Great view and only a wheelchair man with a yellow scarf, a woman in black and a third man not interested in what's happening bellow.

The same balcony on the other side, is full of people

I could not google it, but I clearly remember: at the time the author Ray Bradbury was displeased with 'Rosemary's Baby's final; and he wrote an alternative ending that goes like this:

Rosemary approaches the baby's crib and takes the baby into her arms and cuddles him, mothering the child. The other guests relax (the original film ends here)

Bradbury's goes on:

She waits for a chance and runs away with the child into the night. The apartment's crowd follow her on the night street. She sees a church with the front door ajar and enters it. She calmly walks down the aisle towards the altar. The persecutors howl ("no! No! come back!") at the door, unable to enter this sacred building.

She approaches the altar, places the child there and prays: "Father, I do accept YOUR child". A blast of light bathes the altar as the child's paternity is reversed. The satanists scream at the door, defeated.

x-x-x-x

Would you be able to track this story?

Of course, in the 60's, without the religious fundamentalists of today, I enjoyed this alternate ending.

Nowadays, I felt like some 'bible belt' fanatic, by just quoting the lines I remembered.
