I didn't even read many of the down clues as they were already filled in. I like a day like this once in a while...6 minutes.<br /><br />Secondly, I wasn't going to even write since it's so late, however, I have a memorable WLS story to relate. In the early '70s, I listened every night to WLS. I kept hearing an ad "See 'Chicago' at the Illinois State Fair on August (let's say August 20th, as I'd have to dig out the ticket stubs to be sure of the exact date). So we loaded up the teenagers at 6AM, drove about 3 hours and I passed a billboard which said the Illinois State Fair was August 8-16th. Uh oh, what to do. Most in the car were asleep. So I drove a bit further, my heart sinking as we thought we were headed to the State Fair. Finally, I woke up my husband and said, uh, the State Fair was last week. What should we do? <br /><br />We went ahead into Springfield, went to a music store and bought tickets to see Chicago at the Illinois State Fair GROUNDS. Not once in the ad did I ever catch the word GROUNDS. We did enjoy the concert which was 'Saturday In the Park'.<br /><br />That's my fondest memory of WLS.<br /><br />Anon T - we have radio station WDAF in KC. There might be other W stations, but it's late and I can't think of any other at the moment.kjinkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785269427684459917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-88957066732036201112013-12-04T01:08:52.208-06:002013-12-04T01:08:52.208-06:00Anon@11:04p

Mr. Erlandson developed his "circus trees" in California in the San Joaquin Valley. He moved his family and TREES over to Scotts Valley, near Santa Cruz, CA in the mid 1940's. <br /><br />Long story short, after his death the trees fell into ruin and were slated to be bulldozed. In 1985 a Gilroy man in the tree business knew of them - dug them up, boxed about 28 that were still alive and relocated them, making them the center of a horticulturaly based theme park, Bonfante Gardens, now called Gilroy Gardens. <br /><br />Google "The 80 Ton Tree Caper" and you can see how the move was done...passing thru 4 counties, many city streets, power lines that had to be manually lifted,freeways, CHP's, Sheriffs, Police officers and a bunch of volunteers. It's quite a story!<br /><br />Thanks for the tree discussion.GarlicGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311111741227061537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-31658954822880187892013-12-03T16:44:20.052-06:002013-12-03T16:44:20.052-06:00Always Curious @3:40

They recall the fabulous scenery of Hebrides where we hiked.<br /><a href="http://www.photos.com/images-photo/outer-hebrides" rel="nofollow">Link Hebrides</a><br /><br />Many in the Hebrides still speak the Gaelic language, often alongside English. The government is trying to keep the Gaelic culture and language alive. In the pubs, we had to listen closely to decipher English being spoken with a broad Scots accent, not always catching the whole content. We sampled many kinds of Scotch not available in the U.S. and at much cheaper prices.Yellowrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590216912123103432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-37576211499607103252013-12-03T16:18:22.178-06:002013-12-03T16:18:22.178-06:00Mick says it's "The Singer, Not The Song&...Mick says it's "The Singer, Not The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3_9Nftgspo" rel="nofollow">Song</a>".Argylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472446316589207365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-43592168113542325572013-12-03T16:16:36.026-06:002013-12-03T16:16:36.026-06:00A nice Tuesday offering.
