Livonia, Michigan is a suburb of Detroit. I have a friend from high school who lives up there. It is named for a region of Europe that is now part of Latvia. The last time I visited my friend we went to an outdoor concert of big band music ... a nice evening.

Aden, is a city in Yemen

Aden's ancient, natural harbour lies in the crater of an extinct volcano which now forms a peninsula, joined to the mainland by a low isthmus. This harbour, Front Bay, was first used by the ancient Kingdom of Awsan between the 5th and 7th centuries BC. The modern harbour is on the other side of the peninsula. Aden now has a population of about 800,000 people.

Back in the early 60's I was aboard the USS Essex Aircraft Carrier. During that time I flew in and out of Aden for mail and cargo, aboard the ships cargo plane. During this period Aden was still under British Rule, known then as Aden BCC.

Yakutat in the U.S. state of Alaska. The population is around 808. The name is Tlingit, Yaakwdáat, meaning "the place where canoes rest," but it may originally derive from an Eyak name which has been lost.

Yakutat has recently risen up as the surfing capital of Alaska. Warm Pacific currents keep water temperatures in the area mild, although wetsuits are still a must for most of the year. Several surfers reside in the town year-round, while others are beginning to creep in from surrounding areas and the Lower 48.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Toronto is the most populated city in Canada and is the capital city of the province of Ontario. It has a similar city motto to Chicago. Toronto's is "City in a Park" and Chicago's is "City in a Garden" (Urbs in horto). Toronto is home to the CN Tower, the ARt Gallery of Ontario, the very cool SkyDome where the Toronto Blue Jays play baseball and the Hospital for Sick Children, which is one of the world's leading pediatric research centers. Toronto is on Lake Ontario so you can go for a boat ride or take a walk along the waterfront. My sister's former next-door neighbor was born and raised there, so when we went there for a vacation she gave us a very long list of things to see and do and we had a terrific time. I would love to go to Toronto again some time. It is a beautiful city.
