My kids - who were brought up in its provincial shadow - have (I think quite rightly) rejected it.<br /><br />Ruth! This made me smile! Authentic or not, that sounds a cool party. It reminds me of the time I shaved my legs, put on make-up, hitched on a dress, then drove down the M1 motorway to a fancy-dress do. Carmen's aunt was convinced for at least two hours that I was a long-lost female cousin from the Antipodes.<br /><br />Rachel - 'Downtowns' will always be 'historic', that's for sure, in today's touristic and marketing world. (An interesting challenge how Luton, Skelmersdale or Immingham might be marketed?)The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-58112804187420744752011-07-14T00:41:20.781+01:002011-07-14T00:41:20.781+01:00Now that's a historic downtown!

My husband dressed up like Brunnhilde for Halloween a couple of years ago for his fourth grade party. Long blonde braids and all. (Grass skirt too.) Sadly, he mistakenly wore a horned Viking helmet. And we thought his costume was so authentic! I'm a stickler for details and authenticity. Well except for the grass skirt.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-90093658435518496392011-07-13T21:17:31.255+01:002011-07-13T21:17:31.255+01:00Great photos, Robert, and Lincoln appears to be a ...Great photos, Robert, and Lincoln appears to be a very charming town.
