Maybe that is because Vancouver is so very similar to Washington State cities in other aspects besides sky line. And also, Vancouver and Seattle, and other Pacific Northwest cities are so much more all around friendly than Boston, which after years of being in other cities all over the U.S., Boston was the most unfriendly city I have ever been in...and we were there for 10 days, spending lots of money too!Boy did I digress from the intent of the post!(we did appreciate the history there, but friendly...nope!)KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-64047765366172037332009-02-22T22:35:00.000-08:002009-02-22T22:35:00.000-08:00Your last sentence sums it up.

I love those two; they were great in that other movie titled, I think, “Unfaithful.”<BR/><BR/>About the houses: It seems to me that all Victorian houses are going to have similar features, all farmhouses the same, all Georgian houses the same. They all vary only slightly.<BR/><BR/>But I like the idea that you posit.
