Oh Yessss and yesss I would love to be able to see all of these places and I am going to definitely go and read the history. Thanks for the link.<br /><br /> Poor Dave. I am so sorry that he is fighting that horrid disease. My brother in law has Crones Disease. He hurts so often but sometimes I have to put the blame on him because he knows he isn't supposed to eat anything with seeds like Poppy seed buns, strawberries, melon etc...<br /> Good to know that you and your stomach slept like a log :) Beth Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103650100630485292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-3089321139057899802020-01-09T16:27:57.256+00:002020-01-09T16:27:57.256+00:00Wow, I loved the history of this building and all ...Wow, I loved the history of this building and all its famous characters.

Why not?<br /><br />Mary: Yeah, it's a cool-looking building. Historic London calls it "a curiosity."<br /><br />Ms Moon: I'll check it out and report back!<br /><br />Robin: The stories they could tell!<br /><br />Ellen: Yeah, somehow it seems suited for a ballet studio, doesn't it? But apparently it was the upholsterer who installed all that ornamentation.<br /><br />Sharon: It's definitely the fanciest Pizza Express I know!<br /><br />Red: Yeah, no one builds that solidly anymore.<br /><br />37P: It was probably a down-and-out building and someone saw the potential.<br /><br />Elizabeth: Come back! We'll explore more!<br /><br />Jenny-O: Well, I know it's silly, but I didn't want to waste it! LOL<br /><br />Linda Sue: Yeah, it's amazing how much time people must have taken just to get ready for the day (or evening). But then, they didn't have TV and Internet.
