Wait, so Liz Reed's final "place" was just used primarily as a meeting place to keep Dickey B's extramarital goings-on more of a secret?

Yeah, pretty much. It was an ode to a brief, torrid affair named for the location they'd rendezvous in Rose Hill.

Wow. Thanks for writing this. That is wild that where she died is so near to the Big House.

right? the origin story itself is interesting enough but that little detail is pretty mind-blowing

Two thoughts, for what they're worth:

1- I go through Macon regularly and have visited Rose Hill and the ABB gravesites and the rest of the cemetery. It's beautiful, and I feel somewhere between earth and the cosmos when I'm there.

2- I read that Wesleyan was the first women's college in the U.S.
