Paducah, Kentucky: I don't know if I would have posted this note but years ago I spent a fair amount of time on the memoirs of US Grant -- I've read it at least twice and parts of it many more times.
I also made a self-teaching guide for middle-school students. I will send it to our grandsons in Portland, OR, when they are a bit older. The best part of the self-teaching guide: it teaches a lot of US geography. The memoir had a strong connection to Mark Twain, but that's another story of another day.

This takes me back to both the Greek Theater within Griffith Park and the Hollywood Bowl a bit farther to the west. North Hollywood; Los Feliz (wow); North Vermont Avenue; Highland Avenue.
