This is our "ace" so to speak to prevent imposters from showing up. The "toasters" have a certain style and approach.<br /><br />Also, we've seen the original and the two sons and we recognize them immediately.<br /><br />Again, this isn't a secret but notes have been left indicating that this is a father and sons (2) tradition. This has been reported in various AP stories.<br /><br />Anyone can stand on the street watching for the guy to show up. Dress for cold weather!<br /><br />I hope this is helpful.<br /><br />JeffJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013018150494357189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508894650834872844.post-80813580668756099992010-01-29T09:27:39.137-05:002010-01-29T09:27:39.137-05:00Jeff,
Thanks for commenting!
Let me ask you (a...Jeff,<br /><br />Thanks for commenting! <br /><br />Let me ask you (and I'm not being snarky or sarcastic here), but how will you know if there's an imitator? Are you sure that for the last 60 years it has only been 1 Poe Toaster?<br /><br />In order to wait for the Poe Toaster on the cemetery property, is there a charge or anything one must do other than show up?<br /><br />Thanks!Little Merry Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260823112620938983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508894650834872844.post-39091129072266801922010-01-29T09:06:11.372-05:002010-01-29T09:06:11.372-05:00If the Poe Toaster made his final visit in 2009, t...If the Poe Toaster made his final visit in 2009, the Bicentennial of Poe, then it makes sense to end it on such a grand event.<br /><br />I will be spending the night for the next two years and if he's a continued no show then I think we can safely assume it's history.<br /><br />I hope no one else decides to imitate this tribute. There's only one Poe Toaster and pale imitations just won't cut it.Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508894650834872844.post-63752479813433642022010-01-21T17:23:35.044-05:002010-01-21T17:23:35.044-05:00I remember when I was living in DC and we had a hu...I remember when I was living in DC and we had a huge trial up in Baltimore. I lived up in Baltimore for that month or so and one time had to make a run over to the University of Baltimore Law Library. The cab dropped me off and then I had to walk around for a bit to find the library itself. As I was walking around, I just happened to stumble upon the statue of Poe in the plaza of the law school. I have been fascinated by Poe since then and really wish my girlfriends and I had made that trip we talked about.Little Merry Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260823112620938983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508894650834872844.post-36540659520275530412010-01-21T17:16:28.425-05:002010-01-21T17:16:28.425-05:00I hadn't realized the toaster didn't do hi...I hadn't realized the toaster didn't do his thing this year! I'm not a big fan of Poe, either, but for some reason, I love the idea of the mystery toaster's yearly pilgrimage. Maybe it's the mystery surrounding his visit that I love. I guess it's fitting that the toaster is leaving us wondering!Sonya @ Under the Desert Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594560246003629766noreply@blogger.com
