    Essesx means East Saxony, home of the East Saxons in England. There's also a Wessex (West Saxons), and a Sussex (South Saxons). From the Anglo-Saxon period originally. Still known as Essex today. There's also a Norfolk and Suffolk (North and South).

    Downtown. Hmm. Made me remind me of another favorite of my ex. She used to make the dance moves to this one, and her little daughter imitating her. Too cute. :-)
