    I too was thinking Rome, but instead trying to think of a Latin name.
    Sharp-looking and -thinking men today, good matchup.
    Got only the middle DD, but hit several stumpers. 1919 author; LA purchase date; Tony-winning show.
    Those last lyrics were absolute murder. Wish they’d all been from the 60s/70s.

    2/3 on DD, but missed FJ. Same here, Rick – I knew it was Rome, but best I came up with was “city on a hill”.

    I did get the Real Housewives TS, though!
