Bonus Q&A

The Good Time Girls have teamed up with the ladies of The City of Subdued Podcast to bring you the darkest, the most oppressive, the spookiest, and the baaaaaadest parts of Bellingham History! We hope you have enjoyed it! We’ve reached the end of the season and we recorded a bonus episode to Answer all the Qs! We requested questions from YOU, the listeners and you sent them! Thanks for asking! In this episode you will here us to attempt to answer the following:

Episode 3 (BAD BUD TOWN):

• Why are the Fairhaven markers gone?

• Bud was "tall"... was 5'10" considered above average height?

Episode 6 (BAD LADY TOWN)
