Today’s advent calendar picture is an old trading card for celery compound. Personally, I always thought a celery compound was a fenced-off area where you grew celery, much as the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts is a sort of fenced-off area for the keeping of Kennedys. But apparently not. You live and learn – especially with Hooting Yard as your guide!
I thought the function of the celery compound was to keep the Kennedys off the celery.
Incidently the monument is still clsed so far as I know since the earthquake back in August.
It was of course demolished by alien space craft in 1956
