Hint:

There was a writer whose first name will give you the state. No one was afraid of her. <smile>

satt's right; spendius is thinking of the best little whore house in Texas, and Tico knows how little I have traveled. Razz

Goodnight you great people.

Miss Letty, I cannot help myself to think your place is akin to this:

It is definitely akin, Francis.<smile> I knew that there was another of the same name in Virginia because my sisters have been there, but I had no idea of the great history behind it.

For those of you who may be interested.


This antebellum residence survived the siege of Petersburg during the Civil War and was later enlarged by railway tycoon Alexander Hamilton.

During World War I, the mansion served as an officer's club for the nearby Camp Lee military base and was the residence of General Pershing.

Later, it was home to the family of Hollywood star Joseph Cotten, Orson Welles' alter ego (Gaslight, Duel in the Sun, The Third Man, Citizen Kane), born and buried in Petersburg.

Go, Francis.

Not at all, Tic, but not as cold as Toronto.

Ah, those wispy pines in the foreground fooled me -- they remind me of pines that I've seen in the tropics.

Ok, based on the car and what may be a minivan on the far left of the building that has a classical facade planted on a box, is it in the USA?
