RE: Extra Credit Questions
Eva:
Before I attempt to answer - are you sure you don't mean a city of "northern efficiency and southern charm"? I think "efficiency" was probably associated with the North, and "charm" with the South - generally. (07-18-2013 02:54 AM)Eva Elisabeth Wrote: Good morning!

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Indeed correct, very good.
The other quote refers, of course, to another city you all know well. And was made by a person who had lived there as well as in Washington. |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Judging strictly as a Marylander, my first guess on the second quote would be the City of Baltimore. I have no idea who would have said it, however.

Laurie, it's not Baltimore, it's much easier. It's a capital, too, but wasn't always.
The person lived in the White House during the CW. |

OK, I'll say Washington, D.C. by Mary Lincoln (or Hay or Nicolay)...

It was Hay, very good, but the city is a state capital.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Wow, that's what I would call a creative term of endearment (or an unusual nickname).
(I hope Google refuses to translate words like "pumpkin".) |
