Mendocino

Does Mendocino look familiar? It was the setting for “Murder She Wrote” back in the 80’s --- the fictitious Cabot Cove, Maine.

Speaking of Mendocino, does anyone remember the song by the same title by the Sir Douglas Quintet from the late 60's? It's been going through my head all day and got me thinking about all of the other "location" songs that managed to surface from the depths of my brain as we've travelled cross-country. To name the more obscure ones:
- "Thirty Thousand Pounds of Bananas" (Harry Chapin) came to mind as we made the descent to Scranton PA on I-84
- "Get Your Kicks on Route 66" followed us through parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and California
- "Is this the Way to Amarillo?" haunted me all through Texas
There are more obvious ones and I'm sure more will come to mind as we continue our journey.
