点评:I am a huge EA Poe fan. This was the last of his homes/museums I needed to visit. CAUTION: The house is in a neighborhood that has some crime issues. I say this having lived in Chicago my whole life and nothing much surprises me about urban living. Be smart about when and how you travel to the house, especially since visitors are forced to wait outside. The staff member came out right at the start of our tour time but I was disappointed that she spent about 15 minutes providing Poe's entire life history. I was there to learn about the home. I suspect most visitors already know the content she shared. The time was deducted from the time you are allowed to spend in the home. I felt rushed and crowded. I would have been willing to spend 10x the cost of the ticket to have a private tour and have access to a home that was quiet so that I could reflect on the history that occurred there. There is a cute gift shop on the first floor.
翻译:我是 EA Poe 的超级粉丝。这是我需要参观的最后一个他的故居/博物馆。注意:这所房子位于一个犯罪问题严重的社区。我说这话是因为我在芝加哥生活了一辈子,城市生活并没有让我感到惊讶。要明智地选择何时以及如何前往这所房子,尤其是因为游客不得不在外面等候。工作人员在我们参观开始的时候就出来了,但我很失望,她花了大约 15 分钟介绍 Poe 的整个人生历史。我去那里是为了了解这所房子。我想大多数游客已经知道她分享的内容了。这段时间是从你被允许在家里待的时间中扣除的。我觉得很匆忙,很拥挤。我愿意花 10 倍的票价来参加一次私人游览,进入一个安静的家,这样我就可以回顾那里发生的历史。一楼有一个可爱的礼品店。
