Who Was Red Hot Twenty Years Ago This Month - Harumi Nemoto

Last week I posted a feature on actress Scarlet Salem who was very popular about a decade ago. That post proved to be really well received so I decided to take a trip even further back in time to spotlight an actress who popular a mere twenty years ago. Yes way back in the early 2000s actress and model Harumi Nemoto graced the pages of my old Monster Island News website (pre blog) a numerous occasions. At that time I listed her as one of the hottest up and coming actresses even going as far as pinning the 'future star' moniker on her. 

Well here we are in 2022 and my prediction that Harumi's career would skyrocket simply didn't pan out. She actually stopped acting in 2007 and became a writer for Manga Life Magazine. 

I'm sure that many of my readers are pretty bummed out that Harumi stopped acting in modeling to pursue a career as a writer. As a public service I will post a few pics from her days as a model.

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
