Which state begins with "I" and is best known for its "famous potatoes"?
Oh, right, Iowa.
Connecticut apparently can't get the two straight. This sign is found in at least one gas station somewhere in Connecticut.
Anyway, onward and upward to Boston. The Old North Church, where Paul Revere signaled the sexton who hung two lanterns to signify that the British were coming by sea, not by land, during the Revolution:
I have several friends who are with child, and this church was chock full of great ideas for names. It appears that all church-goers were assigned a box to sit in (pews included), and you knew which box was yours by the number and/or nameplate. I'm not sure if this was to limit distractions, but I would find it rather uncomfortable. It also doesn't really promote church growth ("We don't have enough boxes - sorry, try Old East Church. We hear the Widow Featheringale has not found an occupant for her late husband's seat."). Well, in any case, back to names: "Increase" totally needs to make a comeback.
I can't remember where exactly these stairs go, but I think it's safe to say that they go in the general direction of the steeple.

I love how you say, "with child." I've never heard that outside of a historical book or movie. :)
I particularly like the name "Rideout." Too bad we're done. Rideout Duwe has a nice ring to it... LOL
