Mary Gallagher is a writer and international traveler who runs a web site called Gallagher's Travels that describes her visits and adventures in far flung parts of the world.On her visit to Springfield she enjoyed all that she encountered: the infamous horseshoe sandwich (she ate the whole thing), the leafy, bungalow-lined streets (anyone recognize the shot above?), and the Lincoln attractions in town and at New Salem.
Informed by a stranger in Chicago that Springfield was a "rural" place, Ms. Gallagher happily found that "Lincoln and Springfield showed me a humble America, rooted with the confidence of the history from where we came."

Do NOT know the street but do definitely recognize the Horseshoe...all the way here in Germany. Mouth waters! And the Maid-Rite the day before. Come on, Will! LOLOL
