Palestine, Tx is the Dogwood City or Home of the Texas Dogwood Trails. We have a big park full of Dogwood trees & they grow wild everywhere. The CBers use to call it the Holy City.

The world's first radio station was established in Pittsburgh in 1920, KDKA, 1020 on the dial (FM) and it is still going strong.

OOPS! I meant to say 1020 AM, not FM. I don't know what the FM is - I just dial until I find it!

Montreal, Saint Joseph's Shrine atop the Mount Royal, Old Montreal where the colony was started in 1642, the underground city downtown, 4 universities,the Botanical Garden, the Olympic Park, the Planetarium, Its summer festivals Jazz (the biggest in the world), Just for Laughs, Francofetes in the Summer. Festival of Lights in the winter.

Last week-end we had the bike circuit, one at night and the other daytime for families. They register about 15,000 people for each . This week-end we have the Grand Prix, Formula 1 car race. Of course Montreal roots for the Canadians (hockey club) that sport is a religion here. Soccer team, Tennis in August, the colours of fall, and snow and cold in winter.That is only a small sample of what Montreal has to offer. I didn't mention the warmth of its residents, you'll have to experience it yourself! Oh! I forgot the food

I love visiting Fort Vancouver, i'm a history buff, it's just to bad I don't get to visit it much. I have to go through or skirt Portland, OR to get there and I hate Portland traffic.
