The Rest of the World

       Those of you who live in the great capitols of the world know. Although you might live in Paris or Tokyo or Rio or NYC, you actually live in your neighborhood most of the the time. What then is the difference between Pottersville and Paris? If you act the ape your neighbors will know, no matter how big a city you live in. These big cities are not these cold impersonal places they may seem to be to the casual visitor.
   Once you have been kicked out of the two bars in Pottersville you are in fact out of luck until you make your amends and beg your way back in. In Paris, one stop on the metro and you're back in business. More to the point is, anywhere you live will slowly give up it's secrets if you are willing to look for them.
     I found out something fascinating about Delmar, my hometown, just yesterday.
