Before being Moscow, this town was named Hog Heaven and Paradise. I forget
in which order. One time, while standing in the check-in line at the San
Francisco airport, a lady heard me say I was going to Moscow. She said, "Oh,
you poor man. I should take you to a motel and give you a proper send-off."
Unfortunately I had a plane to catch. /jim

stations and new car dealers than #1. This was during the time of the
old USSR tho...
