1,from time to time the subject of where the mythical Biscuit City actually is comes up.
Most recently it is a current thread on the GL Yahoo group at:-
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/GordonLightfoot/
In a discussion aboot the equally mythical group "the Intended"
I had found a reference to BC being in Rhode Island in a Google image search
Bruna said "that is exactly where it was. I was on my way to Nantucket and we passed this road sign and skidded to a halt"
i also found this on the Newsgroup at:-
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.music.lightfoot/browse_frm/thread/6571bdafc23b2e54/fddda0e1787165f1?lnk=st&q=biscuit+city+group%3Aalt .music.lightfoot&rnum=5&hl=en#fddda0e1787165 f1
"I'll take Gord's word for it that Biscuit City is a state of mind.
However, there is a Biscuit City Road in Kingston, RI.

when I told Bru in an IM session she replied
BrunaZanelli: I think Kingston was where we saw it.
BrunaZanelli: I like the idea that it was a state of mind myself.
BrunaZanelli: That's what I always believed Gord believed
OK OK I am now feeling pretty pleased with myself
Bru has managed to find a large jpg that she quickly snapped whilst in Rhode Island of the road sign and here is a resized version of the complete picture:-
this I opened im my favo(u)rite picture editing program(me) MGI Photosuite and discovered that not only could I crop it and resize it but I realised I could then also rotate the resultimg smaller portion to produce Tada Tada:-
