Charlie I'm pregnant,

Stopped taking dope
Quit drinking whiskey
And my old man plays the trombone
and works out at the track
Reminds me of Damon Runyon for some reason

No such thing as "Euclit Avenue" in Minneapolis. There is a Euclid Place in a ritzy neighborhood near Lake Calhoun and Lake of the Isles. It's also nowhere near 9th Street. Does Barnes & Noble count as a "dirty" bookstore?
Almost as silly as that song about the "Wheat Fields of St. Paul."
But nowhere near as silly as that award-winning episode of the X Files that had
mountains in the Twin Cities. Dear Vancouver Film Industry: Please do your research before scouting filming locations.
