But hey, it means I don't have to remember to sign my comments.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, you said: "In truth Baum wrote the original stories on Michigan Avenue, about 3.4 miles south of my building."<BR/><BR/>The park was named after the books came out I'm assuming, right? Because I had always heard Frank Baum named his magical land by looking a an encyclopedia (Letters O-Z) and that's how he came upon the name. It would unmake all my education to learn that he named it after the park...Katiriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08245641805032278121noreply@blogger.com
