Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both funk and gunk, and now it is time for you to post until the funky cows come home.

I was just about to post this last night, but I thought to copy it first, so here it is:

Has a lively Target. A Dicks sporting goods. Little else. Many closed stores.

That was the first time (I think) I had ever heard of a "food court."

DR Jeanne, I hope your trip to banking hell is soon over. I had a bit of that close-the-card-down-for-fraud nonsense last September. I think I had three payments over the month that I needed to call and protest and get the card unlocked. As suddenly as it began, it stopped.

DR Rodzinski, I love The Madwoman of Chaillot, although I've never seen what I would call a good production. Around 1973 I saw a terrible one at Cincinnati's Playhouse in the Park, and I think it's not an easy play to do. There were no songs in your production? There are two in the published script, and I once had the music for them that Albert Hague wrote for the 1949(?) Broadway production with Martita Hunt as Countess Aurelia.

We did use the parking lot as a meeting point to pick up our cars from the guy who trucked them across from Delaware.

That is pretty far to have to drive to pick up cars.

Bellingham is the nearest US metropolis to us. And having cars brought over the two borders to us was not feasible.

It was overly loud, had some effective dancing with of Cirque-style sweeps up into the rafters. At times, it was very good, at others, it was much less do. But the crowd was rapt and well behaved.
