It would just seem "too public" for here. >From 1968 to 1974, California was pretty much braless in Southern California. When I moved here in 1974, the only braless women I saw were senior citizens coming out to get the morning newspaper while still in their pajamas. I guess what I'm saying is that it isn't nearly the sin city that some claim it to be. Things get crazy in the French Quarter during Mardi Gras, but it is primarily exhibitionists, not the general public.

They were converted houses and didn't hold many people. So there was sometimes two churches on one city block., maybe one every 150 feet. > > _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
