I'd have been thinking monsters in the wind for sure.Susan Spannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770560542416086762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-3413442816681844782018-01-20T03:53:11.047-05:002018-01-20T03:53:11.047-05:00Now that's a story that should earn you the ke...Now that's a story that should earn you the key to the city, Caro.

The highlanders and the Irish, then the Italians, the Chinese, many Poles, a hearty Jewish community and more recently Asians and those from previous Eastern Bloc countries all live together with very little tension. Previously, the tension was Sectarian of course but we are gradually getting over that.
