Funny how "old" and "historic" has such different meanings according
to where you are.

In Pasadena: 100 years old
In Boston: 300

Over here, the church in my town was first built in 675. Buildings up
to 1000 years old are thick on the ground, some are close to 2000.
Megalithic monuments are 5000 years old. Painted caves 30000. People
have been living in this area for 700000 years...
