Way to go Connie!

The town I used to live in was named after Berne!

[Connie N.]

I guess that means you have to read all 5 of the books I've listed for that city, JoAnne.

[[deleted user]]

what about these two? would the first one work as city scene or the second one as "well known landmark"? I think it's supposed to be the Golden Gate Bridge

[JoAnne]
