1. Super unleaded is cheaper than unleaded across the midwest, any idea why?
2. Where am I?
Clue:
3. In which Wyoming town is it illegal to park your car if you have out-of-town license plates?
Hint: This small town was a planned community built in the 1920's around a company that no longer exists, and the name of the town was changed to that of the new company which purchased the original one and is in the same industry.
4. What is Dan Quayle's home town?
Extra credit: can you identify this building and tell Judy about it? (Listed on National Register of Historic places) It is downtown, not far from the Quayle museum, one block from Nick's Café -- famous for tenderloin and home made pies - we had a slice of rhubarb for breakfast, both being rhubarb freaks. The pie was perfectly tangy with a flaky, delicious crust. The mystery building is located on the NW corner of North Jefferson and West Market (Market becomes East Market on the other side of Jefferson. Jefferson is the old Lincoln Highway route 24.)

Huntington Indiana- where? How do ya spell that?
Juddles - I never knew you also had a soft spot for Marshalltown Iowa. What a coincidence. But then again we are related. -Bucky
1) A lot of gas is being blended with ethanol. In the midwest, I would suspect ethanol might be more cheaply obtained than in other places and some blends of gas, even super-unleaded, if cut with a cheap enough ethanol could cost less than regular unleaded.
2) Marshalltown Iowa.
3) Sinclair, formally Parco.
4) Huntington Indian.
Finally, the building in Huntington is the Moore-Corlew Block, listed in the National Register individually and as part of the Courthouse Square Historical District, Built in 1845 by John Kenower as a dry goods store for Samuel Moore, it was the first brick construction in Huntington and a rare example of Federal style architecture. Kenower and Moore's families were among the first settlers of Huntington county and played an important role in the development of the city.
I had a landlord in Providence named John Kenower who was a very charismatic former preacher and recovering alcoholic; his wife was a very rich ex-hippy girl. John had some shady background of a military sort, we suspected. He could be very nice but you had to make sure not to mess with him. We sent our son to talk to him when he was a troubled thirteen year old; he needed this super-authority figure to talk to him about being a man.
