lilham 752 Posted August 22, 2023 @diego - you should leave the state in for the Americans; I thought for a second that Tori was from the Boston area and why hadn't I heard that before, but she's not at all. We repeat town names all over the country, ie most states have a Springfield or Arlington. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
