Funny.

Do Germans really sound like that? I don't recall them sounding like A.H. when I visited back in the '80's.

In our neighborhood, we have a contractor do it and pay him out of our own pocket, small price for living in the land of milk and honey.

I live in a historic district in the oldest town in N. America. There is a lot of red tape.

Are we talking 'continuously occupied?

Ancient city of Cholula still thrives | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

Ancient city of Cholula still thrives

By ANNE WALLACE ALLEN
Associated Press

CHOLULA, Mexico - A lot has changed since this town was founded on a flat plain in the valley of Mexico.

But no wonder; that founding was 1,800 years ago. Cholula's residents have learned over the years how to blend their ancient history with their modern lives to create a community that is deeply religious yet modern - and often very noisy with fireworks, church bells, and the music of religious processions.

Cholula, in central Mexico, is said to be the oldest continuously occupied town in all of North America. Anthropologists and town fathers say the town was officially founded in the year 620 A.D. And they say people have been living there even longer - possibly since around the year 200 A.D.
