I noticed that hwy 101 in SF was called the James Lick Freeway and wanted to know who he was. Turns out he was a philanthropic land baron, who also helped build the "Lick Old Ladies" home.
Quoted: # In 1884, the Lick Old Ladies Home in San Francisco was established with a grant from the Lick estate.

1 FaverViewed: 2 TimesQuoted: Kings, queens and other nobility are expected to protect their people and to be shining examples of benevolence throughout their kingdoms. History, however, has revealed several rulers to be more monster than majesty. The egomaniacs in this quiz made real life for their people more horrifying than any ghost story. Fancy a frolic through the mayhem? Careful, making sense of these sordid details will require you to use your head ... or lose it!

1 FaverViewed: 4 TimesQuoted: It hit me like a ton of bricks today - this will be my first time voting in Washington State elections. So, it seems problematic that I know more about Gov. Corzine's record in New Jersey or Mayor Bloomberg's attempt to seek a third term in New York than I do about Gregoire and Rossi.
