    Any other suggestions? Needs to have a physical location, like New Orleans jazz, or Brazil nut.

    "Island time"... if you have ever lived on one, you know this to be true.


    You can book the electrician for Monday and he may show up on Friday, if you are lucky and the weather is bad.

    Chicago-windy city; Phildelphia-Liberty bell; San Francisco-cable cars;


    Chicago-pizza; Philadelphia-philly steak sandwich; Seattle-space needle; Houston-NASA;

    Nene, I like the Colorado Rockies and Staten Island ferry suggestions! I'm in Colorado and forgot about the Rockies! Thanks

    PS: are you in Hawaii? I note that the nene is Hawaii's endangered state bird...

    No mermaid, i'm not in Hawaii. But it's interesting about nene being state bird. I am in Mesquite, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. My nephew(when he was little)could not say Nita(my name is Anita). So, he called me Nene.

    Inside the Beltway...In DC this generally refers to the gov't.

    Chicago El

    French fries
    Georgia peach
    Hollywood Bowl
    Indiana Jones
    London fog
    Maine lobster
    Miami Vice
    New Orleans jazz
    New York minute
    Yellow rose of Texas

    They don't get notified everytime you edit. You just have to hope they read your answer.
