I figured I was so detailed about areas on the other side of the world, I
should be the same with US, like Iowa, Saskatchewan..

And of course since I live in the state, Bangor, NY
Remember the last I had the North Bangor depot exists as an auto parts
business but no picture is know as yet..I haven't driven there yet.
Franklin County. How many presidents is that so far with the Bangor
counties?, I remember a Polk.
