I have NO idea why I typed his name - I knew that. Senior moment, I guess.
Probably because when his parents brought the family here, they settled in Cleveland and that is where he grew up.

If it weren't for Bostonians and others in this state standing up to King George the rest of you folks would still be .........
We would be right where we are, a free country. The first permanent English settlement has been at Jamestown, VA since 1607. Patrick Henry did a bit of rabble rousing himself. He's the guy who said "give me liberty, or give me death". Then there was this other VA guy. Thomas something-or-other... I dunno, he wrote some famous thingy. BTW, wasn't Samuel Adams the guy who brought the beer?
And I see that now this thread about visiting states is becoming a history lesson about states. It's all good. History is a cool thing.
+1!
You tell 'em Addie!
If it weren't for Bostonians and others in this state standing up to King George the rest of you folks would still be ......... Need I finish? We started it all. There is a reason they called Samuel Adams a "rabble rousing trouble maker". It was his speeches that got the folks all het up.

aww, geez, bostonians try to take credit for everything, lol.
it was pennsylvania and jersey where george washington turned the tide and defeated the british once and for all.
ny and mass. only started it, but were overrun. although it remains to their credit.
Nope.It could very well be. Beer making was one of his failed enterprises. He was a lousy businessman. It is his recipe for beer making that the present company found and is using.
What, we stray OT Steve? How did we do that? Besides, maybe I started this thread to see how widely travelled a group we are but I am thoroughly enjoying out banter here.
OK guys, Steve wants us to shape up. Maybe next time history comes up we should just start another Back Porch thread.
I started a thread a while ago to discuss how widely travelled we were around the world, I got just a few replies . Is it true that not many people travel outside of the USA?
You certainly wouldn't think so from all of the American tourists you constantly run into over there, but I think Claire and Somebunny are probably correct.I started a thread a while ago to discuss how widely travelled we were around the world, I got just a few replies .

I have been to Portugal and Spain but also to Peru, Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic . I just think of where I would like to go, not how close to home it is . I have never been to the USA yet .
Places I've been and have enjoyed (in no particular order):I would like a girly weekend in New York but other than that I haven't got a clue , any recommendations ?
