They don't allow pictures inside. I've been there once before and for those who haven't, I bet you've seen it in movies.QNPoohBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941631487565237299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-53200220917464377092012-05-02T16:04:18.942-04:002012-05-02T16:04:18.942-04:00I'm not sure if she was crazy, or just so dete...I'm not sure if she was crazy, or just so determined to get what she wanted that she was okay with bulldozing everything and everyone in her way.

Mrs. Fish and Mrs. Olerichs seem a bit more reasonable. I think I'd get along well with Mrs. Fish.
