But, even if I have lived in Chicago for some fifty years, I know "the syndrome". I was "born and raised in the New York area" (and might actually have been a resident of NYCity during 61-62); falling in line of course was that I saw Europe before I saw the West Coast.
Gilbert B Norman wrote:Monica, how did the name Weso come about?It's where the Southern Pacific Overland route I was on parallels the Western Pacific's Feather River route. I'm guessing Weso stands for Western and Southern combined though I thought it just Spanish for bones lol. How did I do?
Just want to see what the lady learned during her Western junket.
Hint: the name has railroad significance.
