[Daddy's Litt...]

In the old SR books we know what neighborhoods are particularly rich but what other cities have what neighborhoods of luxery?

Not just where they live, like Central Park West in New York, there are normal shops and people there too, but where is the air rarified? In Philladelphia it is the "main Line" south and west of the city proper. In NYC is is actually the Hampton's-at the end of Long Island- and Westchester county to the north You hear about Beverly Hills and Holmby Hills in LA but what else is there? Parts of Miami Beach? Jamaica? Paris? London? Montecarlo?

I was reading a book set in the 1960's and it talked about a man in the Miami scene and it said, "He stood out among millionaires in a place where millionaires were common."

The rich have always had country estatews. The Loire chateau of France, the country houses of the English and the coastal estates of the gilded age Americans, and sure with the modern world luxeries they could retreat there but you're missing an important element. They like to mix. To see clubs and art and galleries and shopping and even more important they are seen by their peers. Have all the neat toys in your country house in bedfore Hills NY or the compund in Hyannis and no one can see them and be jelous.
