Nice. Ya gotta love Ol' Glory.

Alan -

You gotta love the pea soup green paint.

Hans -

And the rust spots.

Did you swing by O'burg too?

Alan -

You drive by Ogdensburg heading to Canton but not really through it.

Hans -

O'burg is a fascinating melange of Americana.

Alan -

Yet it was a British holdout until 1796 and tossed the Yankee army out again in the War of 1812.

Hans -

See. Fascinating.

Alan -

and did you know about the Treaty of Ogdensburg?

Hans -

I did. Ogdensburg gets a fair amount of coverage in Hutcheson's "The Unknown Country" which is actually about Canada.
