The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

I would like to refer to Raj who said: "That was the start of the current day gossip newspapers!". I love his sense of humour just as much as I love mine! I had the same comment in mind! LOL
This kind of architecture has been my most beloved always...
Thanks for this wonderful bit of history shown in such appealing manner!
