I really enjoy your posts, Dorothy. I’ve recommended you to friends. Do you know anything about Armanino Court? It’s a little street off College just before Claremont. I understand it used to be a farm, and some of the original buildings are still there. I took a walk there one day when I had extra time. It’s just a block long, but really interesting. Cathie
Thank you. I don’t know anything about t off the top of my head. But I will check it out.
