I read a book (by Anne Rice? Could it have been?) about a couple who
lived in a part of San Francisco and when she moved, she could never
find the street they'd lived on again. The City is sort of like that.

"Bravia". A TV IIRC. The "making of" pics were pretty cool in a techie
kind of way IIRC.

I know there's a big Russian population around here, not to mention
that I live in a town where whites are a minority... :) Mostly
Hispanic though.

I actually get some stuff that reminds me of home from an unusual
place - Ikea in Paramus. They have a food section, and a small cross
cut of Scandinavian cuisine, including herring. And a lot of people
at work say the Swedish Marabou chocolate is very good. Considering
that I work in a company that deals with chocolate and cocoa a lot,
I think that's pretty well done.
