It's A Wonderful State

Our part of New York today was looking a lot like Bedford Falls on Christmas Eve in Frank Capra's 1946 classic It's a Wonderful Life. Did you know that Capra based Bedford Falls on Seneca Falls in the Finger Lakes region? He did! Seneca Falls is famous as the site of the first women's rights convention in 1848. We're still fighting those battles, 176 years later (*sigh*). Well — the fight goes on. Meanwhile, we cats hope you had a lovely and thankful day, and we PURR.
