  1. I have a fondness for Cleveland, particularly, "the Flat's". I traveled the US with my job, was born in Chicago, educated in the South, TN, my Dad's home area, grad "University of Memphis" and remain a fan of the Cities that defined the USA, they each have their own, very American flavor ... Have friends from Cleveland area, Irish and Italian, love both, the latter have businesses in Las Vegas, I lived there 17 years. Best Thoughts ...

Is there any wonder "Why?" Frank Lloyd Wright called Interior Decorators: "Inferior Desecrators "? (Like all were poor and had winfalls, overindulging in displays of wealth, without time to learn of value in design, art, and Mature Mindedness. ... an observation, rather than judgemental.) I rest my perspective and point ... Best Clear Thoughts and Delicious Designs ... Beth
