Season passes are really cheap too! I love the gardens in the spring and the decorations in the winter.

The ski resorts in the rockies would NEVER admit to having fake snow - nobody would show up. Here, it makes the news every night! Are we going to head up to ski on that icy, rough stuff? No way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-76987722244237230272007-11-15T08:09:00.000-05:002007-11-15T08:09:00.000-05:00All of the "Yankee" comments just further support ...All of the "Yankee" comments just further support the entire worlds stereotypical views of the South.<BR/><BR/>Way to go.

I also grew up there and have fond memories of Sunday morning bakery stops. <BR/><BR/>Charlotte has none to speak of. I'm talking BAKERIES, not the few little places locally that you can get a decent birthday cake. Maguerittes (now closed) was so/so at best. Edible Art is good, but cake only. Nova's is down right overpriced grocery store quality goods. <BR/><BR/>The grocery stores in L.I. even have great baked goods. None of this multi colored Crisoco filled crap.<BR/><BR/>So lay off the fellow New Yorker. They are just telling it like it is.<BR/><BR/>FULL FLEDGED NY ITALIAN BAKERIES BABY !<BR/><BR/>Now if I want good grits or biscuits it's the South for sure. Without a doubt. New Yorkers can't make a biscuit to save their lives.<BR/><BR/>So stop the belittling. Each region is good at their own thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-80752453224945217992007-11-13T18:00:00.000-05:002007-11-13T18:00:00.000-05:00We went to the Columbia zoo yesterday.
