They could be amgonst us and we just don't know it... Maybe they are just posing as people from the town of Dark Fired, Kentucky; trying to 'blend in' . - Sherm Natman

Well the people of Latakia have had a very rough run for the last decade, plus a pretty big earthquake last month. I think hobby forums, and the time to spend on them may be more of a luxury than I usually give them credit for.

Didn't know Latakia was actual country. Thought it was just a city in Med producing Latakia. I thought Balkan was a country, but I'm finding I'm wrong. But knew Algeria is a country.

That's exactly right. Latakia is a city in Syria. - Sherm "I'll take famous Mediterranean port cities for $200, Alex" Natman

I think if we made a map of where our members are it would be pretty densely packed in a few areas. There are lot of places we don't have many people from here. Though they're probably on other sites wondering where all the Americans are.

The Algerians are still mad at us for buying up all their old briar...

I typed in Google, Algerian Tobacco Shop and there were a lot of results, but most looked more like convenience stores selling various things along with tobacco.

I couldn’t tell if there were any, strictly just a tobacco or pipe shop.

hmm

Some people might not know that according to Wikipedia, Latakia is the principal port city of Syria and capital city of the Latakia Governorate located on the Mediterranean coast.

What is Laodicea ad Mare

According to Wiki: "... Laodicea (Ancient Greek: Λαοδίκεια) was a port city and important colonia of the Roman Empire in ancient Syria,[1] near the modern city of Latakia. It was also called Laodicea in Syria or Laodicea ad mare. Under Septimius Severus, it was the capital of Roman Syria, and of the Eastern Roman province of Theodorias from 528 to 637 AD..."
