Princeton WannaBe

And I Thought Shug and Steve O Were Kings of "Bromance"

Okay, it's an understatement to say that Grover was a "guys guy" ......

He was a bachelor when he became Prez ........ his best bud, Oscar Folsom moved to DC.  (He later married Oscar's daughter but it's too  long of a story - we cover it on the tours if you get desperate)

After his Presidency, Grover moved to Princeton because his OTHER best bud, Andrew West, convinced him it was a great place to live.  Andrew was Dean of the Princeton University Graduate School.  (Grover named his cool house "Westland" after his bud - he also used his political clout to help Andy get the grad school located where it is today.......anyhoo.....)

So everyone knows Grover Cleveland lived at 15 Hodge but did you know Andrew West lived in the yellow house directly behind him?  Yep!  At 2 Cleveland Street ......... (a super smart University guy lives there now and his wife, Andrea, is REALLY into the Arts Council.)

If you wanna meet people who live in cool houses you should go to the Dining by Design event later this Fall!   http://www.artscouncilofprinceton.org/HTML/DEVELOPMENT/DxD09/dxd09about.html  It's a super fun event - last year I met Michael Graves, the internationally famous architect!
