Inspired by the nice weather, and seeing my old pictures again, I took a ride over to the "Corleone Mall" today. Not much has changed other than they've added a swimming pool.

Nice pictures

The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

Nice pic's Lou. I'd like to go back there one day. Since both you and DC live close by the both of you should go and have your picture taken in front of the house and post it.

Not a bad idea. Too bad tomorrow is Halloween. We could have dressed up as Vito and Michael.

That would work too. ;\)

On another note, for years I've been trying to figure out what this stone thing in the yard is. It looks like some kind of ancient ruins. Here it is today, and from the movie:




Any ideas?

They buried Sonny under that. He was thinking of Lucy Mancini when he died.

What the hell kind of mall is this? I don't see any stores, a food court, nothing!



Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

I did a quick look-up of the approximate value of the property, and it is $1.9 million. Back in the late 90's, it was only in the $400's.

Damn, I would have given up to $500 for it.

I think it's a stone oven. Used mostly for making bread. My wife's Gradmother had one similar that her Grandfather built. Her Gradmother used to make the best bread even after they stopped using the stone oven.

BTW, these are unbelievable pictures! Thanks for posting them. I wish I lived so close to the Corleones. ;\)

Interesting. Thanks. What made me really wonder is that there are no visible openings from what I could see, and it just looks out of place in the middle of the yard.

Those are beautiful pics? Maybe one day I will make the same pilgrimage. You know, pay my respects to the Godfather version of stone henge.

Not positive of it being a oven, but it does remind me of it. No openings because it could have been filled in later? and out in the middle, because of the smoke when it was used? (The wife's Grandmother's wasn't close to the house)

I could be way off on all this. Could have been put there just to attract aliens?
