-=> Quoting HELEN FLEISCHER to Patricia Ferrara <=-
 HF> Sourdough Wars is set in San Francisco.  Same author, but a whole
 HF> separate series from her New Orleans stuff.  BART is Bay Area Rapid
 HF> Transit; a subway.  MUNI is a tram line that also runs underground,
 HF> just above the BART for the stops along Market she mentions in the
 HF> book. It's older, but cheaper and runs more frequently than the BART
 HF> which primarily serves the suburbs.
        She can fool me with no problem when it comes to subways.
        The only thing that runs underground in the New Orleans
        area is water, water, and more water.   Which is one of
        the reasons that our historic cemetaries buried above-
        ground.
 
 HF> Ah, MUCH better. Do you get the Crafting Echo?
 
        No, I'm usually not into crafts, but only because they seem
        to be so costly to get into.  Maybe I'll check out that echo
        though.
 HF> Haven't read Edna Buchanon.  The talk here makes her sound a bit too
 HF> violent for my tastes.  My current read is _Now Let's Talk of Graves_
 HF> by Sara Shankman.  It's set in New Orleans and a pretty good read.
 HF> Don't know if she captures the setting well or not, though.
         I've seen that author's name many times, but never tried
         any of her books.   Are all of Sara Shankman's books set
         in N.O.?
