There's your classic idiotic and unjustified hatred of the River Market again.   Every post you make on that topic proves you almost never come downtown and have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.   Until you actually LIVE downtown and contribute to the economy, shut up with your basele...

I am reading "Undaunted Courage" by Steven Ambrose (author of "Band of Brothers").  The book is about the Lewis and Clark expedition (and a biography of the life of Meriweather Lewis) and is an excellent snapshot of America in 1805, particularly what the American west was like a...

i've sat in one.

one of my friends just bought one. she even tried to get me to drive around in it. it's pretty nice inside for a 21st century econobox.

i've finished the ben stein book last night, the real stars in america. he talks a lot about himself and all his famous/rich friends and how he's a much better person than not only them, but you too. he never fails to let you know that he knows everything and is rich and famous. he's very pleased wi...

Yeah, chip village!  I couldn't remember the name.  It originally had all those wooden shingles all over the buildings, hence the name. It's possible that you and I ran into each other back in those days.  I spent half of my 3rd grade year at whittier before we made the jump over to Kansas. Man, wa...
