I assume Kodak still sponsers JII & HISTA

Anyway, even though I eat at McDonalds often (love the salads), I can't stand the smell of Mickey-D's fries in the parks. Makes me want to gag. Period.

That's one of the things I like about SWO is that it goes from urban/suburban/exurbs to country just by crossing the street. However I can imagine how some people would react to it. As well as the "Oh it's so dirty" country idea of clean. Sorry but a barn should not smell like Mr Clean.
