For many years now, I have purchased the majority of my earthly goods from Champlain’s Dry Goods and Market. My loyalty to Champlain’s is based partly on convenience (it is very close to my home) and partly in wonder, as Champlain’s houses the most delightful collection of goods for sale that I’ve ever had the pleasure of perusing. The shelves are piled high and crammed full of goods and clothing from every year since its doors opened in the 1890s. From mustache wax to patent medicines and buggy whips, nothing is too impractical to find a place.

Perhaps the most hateful female I ever met was a girl by the name of Esther. From the moment I laid eyes on her, it was clear that Esther had the mind of a demon and no heart at all. Of course, I fell madly in love with her, and while my traitorous heart and ill-fated love affair are no topic for a ghost story, they did bring me as close to a personal experience with the supernatural as I believe I’ve ever been.

For most of its history, Sin Street has held the honor of being River Derbane’s main thoroughfare. Despite its lascivious sounding name, Sin Street actually takes its name from the Seine, that lovely river that runs through the city of Paris, France. It’s just that we’ve had a couple of centuries to improve upon its spelling and pronunciation.
