Re: Celebrate Dr. Seuss - Springfield MA
I'm one of those who's passed by; in fact, my sister lives in Springfield's suburbs, and I've missed all that! Next visit, I'll have to change that. Thanks!

Re: Where in the World is TravelGumbo (#79)
I may be wrong, but that could be my neck of the woods--New Orleans. Maybe even the Garden District with that oak tree. But the house has New England colors of white clapboard and black shutters, which would allow it to fit in on Nantucket or Concord, MA. Whose car is next to the house? Not Louisiana plates, but that could be a decoy. I' d guess the South. Hollywood would use this house, if it were in New Orleans, to look like somewhere else.
