[Harley Pinocchio Palin]

I was born and raised in a quaint little town on The Susquehanna River
which feeds the Chesapeake Bay in Havre de Grace, Maryland. Havre de Grace is centrally located between Wilmington , Delaware, which is forty miles to the northeast, and Baltimore , Maryland , which is thirty-five miles to the southwest.
Legend has it that General Lafayette once wrote a letter to George Washington
telling him that the city reminded him of a French Port named Le Havre
and the city became known as Havre de Grace in 1782.

The city almost became the nation’s capital, losing out to Washington by only one vote. That’s why many of the streets have names like Congress, Revolution and Washington.

There are many historical monuments and places to eat and visit in Havre de Grace. Yachting and boating are the main pastimes.

Shopping in a five state area including Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
New Jersey and New York is easily accomplished by residents of Havre de Grace. All of these major cities are easily reached via car or train within a two hour time period and many folks often take advantage of being so centrally located.

It was an ideal place to grow up.

I worked for many years as a nurse at the
Perry Point Veterans Administration Hospital located in Perryville, Maryland.
During my time there the Bainbridge Naval Training Center was in full operation. It has since been closed down.

Since that time I have lived all over the United States.
I have lived in North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Colorado, California, New Mexico and Arizona.

I have also had the opportunity to visit most of the rest of our beautiful country.

I now live with my husband in Montreal, Quebec.

I have two children. My son is in the USAF and is married to a simply wonderful Chippewa girl.
They have no children and reside in Rio Rancho, N.M.
They met in North Dakota.

My daughter is married and has blessed this world with a beautiful little boy
and is about to offer us all another boy child in February!
She and her husband met in Arizona.

I am most definitely a card carrying Democrat, a card carrying member of the ACLU and believe in liberty and justice for ALL, not just the select few
who have the ” right ” skin color.

I love mudflats!

Hello Harley!  Glad to know who you are.  After reading your info, I see I need to go back and properly introduce myself.  I was just so overwhelmed with the happiness of this forum combined with the confusion of how to operate here. 

[Harley Pinocchio Palin]

Hey to you too Mississippi

[arkangel3]

Glad to see ypu Harley!

Psssssst...my favorite cat in named Harley!  Just don't tell Patches or Marley, OK? 

[Mollys Mum]

Harley, Montreal is my home town!
After twenty-eight years in this country, I still miss it.  But this year, for the first time, I am an American citizen and can vote.  What a debut!
I met my husband at McGill when we were both grad students in the late seventies.  I lived on St. Antoine, halfway between Guy and Atwater.  They put in the new metro stop a year or two before I left town--what a Godsend that was.
It's such a beautiful city.  It was a great place to be young in!

[Harley Pinocchio Palin]

I know we are not supposed to say our address so I will leave you a hint:
Notre Dame West on the corner of Des Seigneurs
I live on the fourth floor loft . The little park is across the street.

I have a view of the mountain and I can see the Bell Centre, Place Ville-Marie, some church steeples etc
To my right is Old  Montreal and to my left is The Atwater Market.
I walk to all these places all the time. Cheaper and easier than driving.
Sometimes I take the bus as the bus stop is directly out my front door, literally.
( The Lachine Canal runs behind me as well )

Harley, you have me pegged!!  I was just a little bit farther west than your arrow, on St. Antoine just half a block west of the Georges Vanier Metro station.  Aside from a paltry difference of 28 years, I am practically your next door neighbor!!     A bunch of my friends lived on Des Seigneurs.  What a lovely trip down memory lane.  Thank you.

Used to live in NDG, then on St. Dominique a block from Sherbrooke. That was grad school. Way too much fun in Montreal.

[Mollys Mum]

Which grad school?

I got my undergraduate degree at Sir George (now Concordia), graduate degree at McGill.
EVERYONE lived in NDG!   

[the problem child]

 
I went to Concordia, too (MA '96). My first year, I was teaching at the Loyola campus first thing in the morning 3 days a week, so I figured I'd better live out there if I was going to make it on time. But all my seminars were at the downtown campus in the evening and I hated having to take the bus to get to the subway and then have to take the bus home again late at night. For my second year there, I managed to wrangle not only teaching downtown, but not first thing in the am! So I made the move to the fun part of town, where paradoxically I felt much safer being out on the streets late at night because everyone else was, too!
