We are taking this week off to recover from Halloween, so we have a BonusCast to share instead, featuring #10 Downing Street. It is the most famous address in British politics. This is the home of the British Prime Minister. The building is 300 years old and was not a place where many early Prime Ministers wanted to live. It wasn't fancy and for many years it was downright dangerous due to its shoddy construction. Today, it is much better and has been the backdrop to many famous historic events. It also is home to several spirits!
