I knew an older fellow who once used the phrase “looks like the southbound end of a northbound horse” to describe things that were just a little bit... off in appearance. Horses are one thing, but what about houses? What if your house was supposed to face south, but the person in charge of building it had no idea how to read the blueprints and ended up having the house built facing north? Then what?

On this first full-length episode (22 min) of the first season of Lily Flagg’s Signal, we’ll be talking about a downtown Huntsville home where that exact thing happened, in which the building may or may not have been built with the wrong side facing the street, so passers-by are in fact seeing the southbound end of a northbound house.
