Hey GB: "Cleveland Rocks!!!!" I've been there a few times myself, mostly driving to Notre Dame or Cedar Point. My kids would go on annual class trips to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Must get there myself sometime. I must be losing it - I didn't get the connection to the Doors song, though I do love the Doors.
Here in Niagara we have a very large Italian population and my neighbourhood is abou 90% Italian, though we are not. We always joke about how we're the only family whose name doesn't end in a vowel and my kids were the only blondes in their school (and Italian Catholic school - we're not Catholic either but who cares?)
I love cultural diversity, though - it makes the Melting Pot known as Canada. I can understand Italian (living here you would), but that also comes from studying Spanish which came quite naturally to me and has also been quite useful.
I've not been to Port Stanley, though I plan to go next month as there is a store I want to go to and I'll be in London (Ontario). Ex and I once went to a Bed and Breakfast in Port Dover. I took him there as a surprise. Thinking back - I remember him being HORRIBLE. So much for appreciation! Well, that thought has once again reinforced why I'm better off without him - LOL!
