re: #1085 SanFranciscoZionist

Really true. This is the advantage of a giant country with every kind of possible growing/herding climate, plus people from all over the world trying to get rich. Good food.

Does anyone remember the children’s book The 21 Balloons, where they have the tiny economy based solely on diamonds and ethnic restaurants?

Don’t remember hearing about such a book, but I lived in a place sort of like that once. It was called Brookline, just outside of Boston.
