That mural is an interesting piece of history and I agree it should be preserved. However, I don't think a nursery is the proper venue to display it....... young minds and all that.

I saw the children's book version of that mural years ago. I had forgotten all about it. It was in a box in my grandparents' attic. I think it was a popular kids book a century ago.

I just did a quick search and it looks like it's worth some money. I wonder what happened to it?

History or no history, that place would have been burned to the ground in the US by now.

Not burned ... just replaced with an office complex.

Over here, I know the same candy as Whoppers. Looks like your product comes in a more convenient size, though.

We spent about 10 grand to make sure that we never have to go to the movie theater again. I guess we didn't really save any money, but being able to see a movie on the big screen in your own home is priceless.

(please let me try to justify my spending)

You don't have to try. You just have to invite us over to see it.
